Friday 26th [September 1845] . . . The company . . . were addressed by Lieu Gen Young . . . I never intend to winter in the United States except on a visit we do not owe this country a single Sermon . . . I do not intend to Stay in such an Hell of a Hole and if this bee your mind signify it by saying Hie—which was loudly responded to by the assembly—and they continually accusing us of stealing they [their?] horses & cattle—I wish some of the brethren would steal & just them . . . They are as corrupt as Hell from the president down clean through the priest and the people are all as corrupt as the Devil.
