[Wilford Woodruff]
President Buchanan recommends a strong force against the saints and that 4 new regiments of men be raised against us. ... The United States are determined to anhilate the mormons. The war is now between God and the Devil and between Saints & Sinners. ... What trials and sacrafizes the Saints may be Called to pass through I do not know but I pray the Lord to give us grace equal to our day.
