10^th I spent the forenoon isn settelling with the Rush valley
Herd company. I spent the afternoon in the office on
History I spent the evening with President Young D. H. Wells
G. A. Smith & C. C. Rich in his private room. he was not well
Brother Candling called in & said that Judge Sinclair & his
court were in hot water & did not know how to get out
they are wound up in there court operations & kirk
Anderson who published his valley tan & made war
upon us is also about wound up he cannot support his
paper. I feel to acknowledge the Hand of God in all these
things The Lord has sustained us through the war and is
now sustaining us through the courts & is thwarting all
the designs of our Enemies in all their wicked designs
against the Latter Day Saints the Lord has given Presidt
Young wisdom to out general all the United States with
their Armies Judges & courts so that they have had no
power over him or this people for which I feel to praise
the name of the Lord

President Young wished the Twelve who went to Fillmore
to inquire into the Charivari^ing^ of Brother Hoyt & family all
night while his wife was having a child born unto him it
being the first child he ever had though he had been marr[i]ed
26 years. Also to inquire into the case of McBrides
sons who Bishop Bronson was jealeous were laying plans
to kill him

We made an estimate of some of the expenses of the war
of the United States against the mormons we made including
soldiers, teamsters & waiters for 1858) 12730 Men
