We have talked this matter over and he thought if should go and begone two weeks it would create more disturbance, than if all the rest were away. When Joseph used to begone for about two weeks, he used to think it was a short eternity. He used to have a strong desire to go East but since the events of last summer, he had felt more attached to this people here in . He feels interested in the Western mission & thinks it will result in great good to the Lamanites. He feels determined to act according to those the council of those in authority.—— [p. [319]]
