[President Heber J. Grant Diary] In the afternoon took the usual ride with Sister Grant. Our guests were Brother and Sister James H. Moyle and Sister Susan Lyman. Brother Moyle is writing a hsitory (sic) of his life to leave to his children. Really I would like to have a copy of it before the book is published. I am afraid there will be some things in it that he will regret. I wish he would let me read it before it is published. I hope he will not publsish (sic) a book that will reflect upon the leaders of the Church. He is intensely Democratic and I am afriad (sic) of what he might write. I fel the same way toward my associate Apostle Reed Smoot, I think if he had written a book it would have been colored too much Republican. I am afraid Brother Moyle will be too much Democratic. He insisted that he helped to save the bank in Ogden, he said he had given me some money. I told him he did not give a dollar. 'I raised the money that saved you. If you had kept your stock it would have saved paying 100% assessment.'
