[Apostle Heber J. Grant Diary] [New York] I had a long chat with Brother John W. Young today. He said that he felt hurt at my remark last night that I would not care to loan him money from the funds of the State Bank. I told him that I could not take back what I had said, that while I considered him an honest man at the same time that I felt that he was constantly undertaking more than his means would justify and therefore I had not that confidence in the success of his undertakings that I wished I had, or which would inspire me enough so that I would loan him means from a bank where I was really holding the funds in trust for others.
