_Saturday, 10_.--Heber C. Kimball, George A. Smith, and Amasa Lyman
started on their mission, and proceeded as far as Lima, where they met
Brigham Young, who was preaching to a congregation. This was the day
for the training of the companies of the Nauvoo Legion; and, lest I
should be observed by the multitude passing and repassing, I kept very
still. After dark, my wife sent a messenger and requested me to return
home, as she thought I would be as safe there as anywhere; and I went
safely home undiscovered.
_Sunday, 11_.--I was at home all day. My letter of the 6th of September
was read to the Saints, at the grove near the temple. The High Priests'
quorum met. Several had gone on missions; others were preparing to go,
but few were present, and the meeting adjourned _sine die_.
Elders Brigham Young, Heber C. Kimball, George A. Smith and Amasa Lyman
addressed a large assembly in the grove in Lima, in relation to the
slanderous reports of John C. Bennett.
_Monday, 12_.--
_Letter from Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball--Reporting their
Movements_.
_To the Editor of the Times and Seasons:_
DEAR BROTHER:--Having commenced our mission yesterday, we held our
first conference at Brother Isaac Morley's. We had a good time. The
brethren here are in good spirits. We ordained nineteen elders,
and baptized twelve. We expect next Saturday and Sunday to hold a
{162} two days' meeting in Quincy, being the 17th and 18th instant;
on the 24th and 25th, at Payson; the 1st and 2nd of October, at
Pleasant Vale; the 8th and 11th October, at Pittsfield; the 15th
and 16th October, at Apple Creek in Green county. From thence we
shall proceed to Jacksonville and Springfield.
If you please, notice the above in your paper for the benefit of
those friends scattered abroad. Yours in the everlasting covenant,
BRIGHAM YOUNG,
HEBER C. KIMBALL.
Morley Settlement, September 12, 1842.
I was at home all day in company with Brothers Adams and Rogers, and
counseled Brother Adams to write a letter to the governor. In the
evening, Emma received governor Carlin's letter of the 7th instant.
_Tuesday, 13_.--At home all day. Settled with Edward Hunter.
_Wednesday, 14_.--At home. Mr. Remmick gave me a deed of one half his
landed property in Keokuk, though it will be a long time, if ever,
before it will be of any benefit to me. Had a consultation with Calvin
A. Warren, Esq. In the evening I received the following letter from
General James Arlington Bennett:
_Letter of James Arlington Bennett--Treating Chiefly of John C.
Bennett and his Book_.
