President Kimball remarked that it was no use to baptize the people
13th Monday untill they had made restitutions to those whom they had
injured. He also said that the men who had been to work for him He
had given $1.50 cts per day & they were dissatisfied & went away to provo
whare they said they could get $2 per day. Elder F. D. Richards said
that he had found the people more ready to carry out the principles
of this kingdom who had been taught it in the English Language than
those who ownly understood the Welsh & other Languages. It has
seemed like speaking through a quill to the Welsh Churches all the time
