Willard Richards's Tent

Prest. Young ^I^ said he ^I^ wanted a new leaf turned over & if there was not, a scourge would come upon the camp. We must give more attention to keeping the sabbath & quit shooting & trading & not pass it off carelessly as any other day, for he knew it was wrong... if Bishop Miller moves again before our arrival he will be disfello^w^shiped from this camp, unless he repents.

[Willard Richards journal, as quoted in Jedediah S. Rogers (editor), The Council of Fifty: A Documentary History, Signature Books (2014)]
