[Minutes of the Apostles] [Heber C. Kimball] asked when you [George J. Adams] came home if there had been any women sealed to W[illiam] S[mith]. you denied it. And I can prove that that there has scores been sealed to both you & him or you have gone to bed with them'I know you have done it by revelation. You have lied to us to day and I will not bear it. and I want you to confess it today or if you dont we will have to prove it before the world and cut you off. I am all the time receiving letters from the East giving account of your prostituting young women and ruining the churches. A[dams]. In regard to women'himself & W[illia]m [Smith]'what W[illiam] had done he made him promise not to tell. He is glad to have them talk all thats in them for he wants to be saved. ... B[righam] Young said who wants to follow W[illia]m Smith. There is but one principle that can save William. He has a brother who is a prophet in the church.... B[righam] Y[oung] we dont want you to say a word against W[illia]m because is bound to be saved. Joseph [Smith] got a promise of it. ...
