[Wilford Woodruff]
I was in Council with the circle. Peices & Letters were red about us & the matter about us. We find that all Hell is boiling over against us. Among the rest Wm. Smith Called upon the Government to furnish him with an army & money. He would Come to Utah & subdue the mormons. Many other features show themselves in the states.
