[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] I read an account of the Temple of Nauvoo being burnt on the 9th Oct by our enemies.
In reading the papers of yesterday I learned that All Europe was filled with Riot war distress And calamities of Almost evry kind Also that the Cholery had made its Appearance in London Glasgow Edinburgh & others places in that Country. Truly the wrath of God is resting upon the gentile world. $1,000,000 worth of fishing boats were destroyed on the Coasts of Scotland in one storm & 150 fishermen loss there lives. Also $1,000,000 worth of American shipping lost in one storm on our coast.
