Elder A. O. Smoot Brought in the Church train goods &c
& Brother Willie the Hand Cart Company there had been
60 deaths in that company they were nearly chilled to death
by the snows & cold in the mountains
Elder Steel from Iron County called upon me. He gave me an
account of the Lead mines. He said there should be a settlement
on the Rio Virgin say 15 miles from old Harmony. By putting a
settlement on the rRio Virgin go down the Rio Vergin and up the Santa
Clara & you will get as good a road & save 6 miles oin going on the
Calafornia Road. their is plenty of cotton wood on the Rio Vergin &
pine in the Mountains & grass on the Hills & building Rock this settlement
would be about 12 miles from a good saw mill now running & there is
no place beyound this point whare you could make a settlement for a
great distance as it is a barren Desolate country

President Joseph Young called upon all the first Presidents of the Seventies to
Pray in ther turn so that He could feel of their spirits. Brother Joseph
spoke to the people & then I Pradyed & addressed the Presidents of the seventy
as they composed the congregation the spirit & power of God rested upon
me & while I was speaking President Brigham Young came in when I
closed I was followed by Henry Harriman Levi Hancock Zera Pulsipher
& President Brigham Young. He promised the people in the name of
Jesus Christ if they would repent & turn from
their sins from that hour all their sins should
be forgiven them & not remembered against them No more
forever either on Earth or in Heaven O what Joy this should
give the people for they have nearly all signed [sinned] more or less. my soul
