Day in the Life

Apr 23, 1860

Journal Entry

April 23, 1860 ~ Monday

23 The Eastern Mail came in Brought me some papers & a Letter
[FIGURE] From Capt Hooper with one inclosed upon sheep I spent a part
of the day in the office a part of the day triming my grape vines
President Young called in the afternoon and spent an hour in social
conversation had 2 letters read From Capt Hooper & G. Q. Cannon
which were quite interesting He conversed with Bishop Woolley
about his going East. He told Bishop E. D. Woolley that He was the
Bishop over the First ward in this city and there was not money
Enough in St Louis to hier him to leave the ward & go to St Louis
to speculate and I presume you do not Expect to get rich at it
Now I can see how to council a man what to do for his own good but
when I do it it comes in contact with his views & he dont wish to do it
