[William Clayton]
Afterwards at the Temple office recording records of the Kingdom. at 11 went to council ... The subject was as to whether we shall send a few faithful men to get in amongst the enemies and find out their secret movements and if possible harm all their plans. Pres-'n Young says we shall not be attacked by the mob this year and wants to urge the building of the Temple and Nauvoo House.
The subject of Loomis getting a License to sell Liquors also came up and it was decided that the prest. speak to the boys and have them get up a party and accommodate Loomis with a row and help his whiskey to spread itself, and probably improve his Accousers and glasses &c. ...
It was decided to let all old claims against the church go and not distress the church by paying them. ...
The last of the Trumptet was put on the wall about 3 o clock also one of the springers for the big arch on the West end. ...
