Joseph Smith Junr. President of the church of the Latter Day Saints, Greeting
Sir, I prefer certain charges against Elder John Gould. (Viz.) of making expressions which is cal culated to do injury to the great cause which we have espoused and manifesting a very strong dissatisfaction against the teachings of the Presidency of the church.
Also Dean Gould for using wrong expressions and threatning the Elders of the Church.
| Yours &c. | |
