[Apostle John Henry Smith Diary] Salt Lake City
... Bro. G. Q. Cannon said he felt that some of the brethren held ill feelings against him and desir[ed] that each should express himself so he might make any amends that was required.
Bros. L[orenzo] Snow, E[rastus] Snow, F[ranklin] D. Richards, B[righam] Young [Jr.], J[oseph] F. Smith and W[ilford] Woodruff said they had nothing. J[ohn] W. Taylor was a little mixed. M[oses] Thatcher, F[ransis] M. Lyman, H[eber] J. Grant and myself wanted some explanation from Bro. Cannon. He went to and tried to clear up all points and said he was willing to try to do anything the brethren wished. They all talked very free. We were together until 2 o'clock and not being quite clear adjourned to meet at 7 p.m. tomorrow evening....
