A man called to see the House of the Lord in company with another gentleman. On entering the door they were politely invited by the gent[l]eman who has charge of the House to take off their hats. One of them complyed with the request unhesitatingly while the other observed that he would not take of[f] his hat, nor bow to Jo[e] Smith, but that he had made Jo[e] bow to him at a certain time. He was immediately informed by Eld[e]r Morey, the keeper of the House, that his first buisness was to leave for when a man imposed upon me [Joseph Smith] he was imposed upon himself [Elder Morey]. The man manifested much anger but left the house.
