June 26
six ^thousand^ troops on the way but it was reported that they had word
to stop untill they heard from the peace commissioners
sent to Utah. he said when we left England we expected
to be taken prisioners when we reached the States but the
way was open before them from day to day when they
passed forts Carney & Laremie they were overshadowed
by a cloud & dark mist so they passed unseen. we passed
Johnsons command & came into the road 12 miles below
them in the Echo & came suddenly upon two companies
making a road they asked us whare Johnson's command
was we replyed we had not seen any thing of them.
whare did you come from then we came from the
States we passed around the Armey. Are you not afraid
of being taken prisioners No their is not men enough
in these mountains to take us prisioners.

The Journey
was harder than the hand cart Journey for we had to
take care of our animals besides walking they met Col
Kane near the Chimney rock 13 days from our city
The people in the states are now for stoping the war the
current is strong against President of the United States
evry thing which he touches is a course [curse] to him our
prayers have been answered in his behalf. he is devided
in all his councils and troubled by night & day and all good
sense & Judgment is taking away from him The times
are worse in the United States than have been known for many
years. Garrish wrote a Letter in the states calling Gov
Young all kinds of Bad names and done us all the injury
he could. The Brethren called at kirtland Martin Harris
had reorganized the church in that place with 6 members
appointed W^m Smith their Leader Prophet seer & revelator
in few days Harris drove W^m Smith out of the place
& damned him to Hell.

A man called upon President Young said Arropene
was vary sick & wanted some things. Joseph A Kelting
called upon the president to know if he might not sell grain
to the armey. President Young said I dont want you to
ask me any such Question. If you love the kingdom of Gogd
more than you do gold you wont trade with them or
sell them wheat I have sold them no wheat to sell them
and this people should not sell their wheat but preserve
it against the day of need many people have more inter-
est in a little gold than in the salvation of their souls
many other remarks were made by President Young
