[Apostle Heber J. Grant Diary] Since the Th I have kept pencil mems. from which to write up my journal, as I have not had time to attend to it each day on account of the many meetings I have had to attend. I find that in making up my record for the Th that I missed recording the following remarks of the brethren viz. Moses Thatcher, said that in as much as some of his aged brethren felt that he was too sensative [sic], he was willing to accept correction from any of them He said he would willingly consecrate all he possessed if he could be relieved from the great responsibility he was under on account of his calling as an Apostle, but he continued I do say however, that I distrust the methods of Geo Q. Cannon and I also know that the people have the same distrust. I have proven my trust in the work of God both with my means and my acts. I had the confidence of Brigham Young during his life and also the confidence of John Taylor until late years.
