David Whitmer he warned us to humble ourselves
before God lest his hand rest upon us in anger for
our pride & many sins that we were runing into
in our days of prosperity as the ancient Nephites
did & it does now appear evident that a scourge
awates this stake of Zion even Kirtland if their

May the Lord in mercy enable us to Meet every event with resignation
