March 30th
Brother got in from last night reported that
the Judges & were vary mad at the Extra. The proc-
lamation had Just arived but not circulated when he
left. They had privately examined and he had
tried to implicate President and this is what our
Enemies have been triying to hier some one to do a long
time. But their is not a man in the world who can
sware in truth that President Young advised anyone
to murder any body he has always advised evry man
when he has advised at all not to shed Blood except in
self defence. It is a vary cold day I wrote some today
to . It is rumoured to day that Col
has 100 deserters in Irons in his camp and he had one
man whiped 120 lashes on the bare back who swore he
would kill the man who sentenced him to be whiped as
soon as he got a chance, we learned that the snow was
vary deep south and their had been No communication with
any settlement south of for several weeks
I had two dreams last night. I dreamed of having a terrible
[FIGURE] battle with a rattle snake he tried to bite me all over
but did not seem to hurt me after I awoke I again fell
[FIGURE] asleep & and dreamed that I had an orchard of several
acres of Appletrees and I thought the ground was covered
with vary large red ripe Apples I thought there was
hundreds of Bushels so ripe that they must be used up
in order to save them I was making preperations to
make them into cider when I awoke. An express came in
last night bringing the reports of the court they are mad at
the Proclamation
