7. I spent the forenoon writing I attended council at 2 oclok


[FIGURES] At our council to day Br Christopher Layton was
set apart as President to preside over A new stake to be organized
in the southern part of Arizona bordering upon Mexico and James
H Martineau as his seconed councillor. D H Kimball was appointed
as his first councillor but not set apart. President Taylor
said he wished Br Layton to understand that this Mission is
for the purpose of esstablishing a settlement in sonora or smome [some] part
of Mexico and Br Taylor wished them to understand that they
must bend their minds to the building up of the Kingdom of God on
the Earth and not for speculation. I attended a family party
