there was in English laws which are very strct for to inflict
penilty on such Proceedors I proposed to accompanying them some
of my Brethren into the midst of the mob to see who they were
that we might get suficient testimony against them but
they objected to my going lest I should be ingured by a showr of
stones which fell from every hand like hail however some
of the Brethren went out themselves into their midst and took
their names of the leaders of the mob and again returned to
the house amidst a showr of stones and brick bats but with
out injury they meeting immediately retired and the mob dispersed
after we cleared the chambers of brick batts and stones we ret
ired and had a good nights rest this begins to show me something,
of the signs of the times in the Country there has been about 40 saints
emegrated from broom hill for america which I expect [page torn]
will see some of of them before this letter as there is not room [page torn]
sheet to say much more I will close by saying I have not forgoten
you or our children I remember you constantly before the Lord
try to be patient my Dear wife concerning our situation for I am
inguaged in the work of the Lord and awful is the situation of this
Generation never did I see such a day as this I have been for days
like a cart prest under its sheaves with the awful sence of
the trials and judgements which God has manyfested unto me
from the Heavens concerning boath saint and sinner but
let us be faithful and after great tribulation our joy will
be great and our Glory unspeakable a letter this day has arived
for Orson Pratt from Doctor Foster at Nauvoo which speaks
of some of the prophecies of Joseph which rests upon my mind
with great weight and accounts for some of my past feelings
may God protect and save us for Christs sake is my prayer
