28th [FIGURES] I receieved three letters two from our friends in Scarborough & one from Elder
Jonathan H. Hale from Kirtland. Br Hale letter was Dated March 6th & it was a letter of great interest it contained
an account of the Saints leaveing kirtland for the land of Zion & of the judgments of God that were comeing
upon Kirtland & also upon the whole land he sent me the counsel of the Presidency of our quorum which was to
teach the Saints upon the Islands of the sea to immediately sell their property & prepare themselves to go
to the land of Zion which is a place of safety & deliverance that they may escape the just judgments of God
that are at the doors. I also perused the late papers of the day found that all things indicate that great trouble
is at the doors & that the Lord is nigh at hand, both the signs in heaven & on earth are visible in fulfillment
of the word of God. I walked to Br Ames & spent the night was still quite unwell distance 4 miles
