with regard to the duties laid before you I would say attend to
it imediately. The sending of the first presidency to the valley this
is your duty and more especialy on account of the covenant
entered into in the temple,, and shall we in the face of this
Covenant withhold no let us not do it.. Our Covenants
will be reviewed in futurity.. There can be no covenant of
importance but it will be reviewed until the day of judgement
I am anxeroulby[?anxiously] they should be there to commence the thing aright
and that things may not be don to have to do over again
I want it should not rest nor [===] but let it impressed
on the minds of the people,, this may be the last opportunity I
shall have with the saints for some years.. I got not to the Vally [?belly]
but to the east [?cart] and may be gone for years,, and ma[n]y times
feel weak and unable to perform the work appointed me of
my brethren,, when I leave this people there are many here I
shall not see again in time,, I want to see them enjoy the
blessings the Lord has promised them,, I say in closing remarks
may the Lord God bless you in all things, and may the[?ir]
saints [?virtues]shine forth as the splendor of the noon day sun
B - sung Hail ye mighty men of Israel )
A Cutler, I feel that the brethren have taken my ground and I
feel highly edified and glad to hear them,, I leave my
testimony with you that they are true,, I hope the breth-
will treasure up these things and learn wisdom,, I have
traveled some this winter and in chatting with the saints
I find it necessary for a reformation, I have been a long
time in the church but have not made that progress I
should,, there has not be a day since I have belonged to
the church that looked better than this day,, I think
God will bring about things to liberate us,, I heard considerable
said about what I said on the stand in Nauvoo,, and
many are troubled about it, but I have no trouble about it
I dont trouble myself about my travel,, but I fear you won't be
prepared to go with me.. - -
1/2 past 3 O. Hyde,, I have been eddified, and rejoice
to been from the experience of age,, It is [===] fine remarks I
want to make,, I want this people blessed in all my
remarks I have di[…]ered the blessing and well being of
the church,, what P. B. Y. said I say given to it, it was
good,, It matters not to me what the penalty is for what
I have done or spoken,, apply this penalty to stealing whet you
[?may] and this honest in heart will have flesh,, then
[==] our [==][===] fromhapen but the spirit live and
live in our hearts,, I say as befor that I was at the time heated
any feelings were suseptible of mercy and believe that
every one will hear[?] our witness that I designed not
the oppression of one honest person there is an influence that
can be found and that will sink an offender to the obesses [?abyss],,
but can Elder that holds an b[…]ce be ware how he officiates,,
in these things,, let the [=======] drop the article on
marige but the spirit of the thing be retained ...
The spirit of stealing or taking things not my own is
as far from me as it I know it from the hearts of the
mass of the people,, and now are to select [===]ise and
[?licentious] men also will take them [=====] in the
more we want branches, and come to our Council
and the fresh inteligence and herald it for them,,
let us not be anxious for the thing if this world but
the things that are to be enjoyed in the kingdom of God
this is the deliverence I long for first and delivered
[===] away can [?life] different kinds between man
and then they are allways acceptable - -
Moved that several Elders be appointed as missionarys to
