5th [FIGURE] The worst difficulties in the saints warfare are perils among & from fals Brethren. I walked to Mr
John kents store & Post office & he presented me with a letter containing two sheets from Mr Warren Parrish
at Kirtland Ohio who had been an Elder in the Church of Latter Day Saints & had travled with me in the ministry
many miles, he had now made ship reck of faith was cut of[f] from the Church & he with some others in like circum
stances are now making every exertion against us & the cause, & the letter alluded to was teeming with falshood against Joseph &
the Church. O Warren Parrish how art thou fallen thy former letters will stare thee in the face make thee blush & pierce thy soul. The
letter is believed by our opposers & causes persecution to rage. I had a prayer meeting at Br Ames 4 miles
