Transcription

[Elder Thomas Caffall]: They are lacking faith in one principle—the last "cat that was let out of the bag." Polygamy has been got over pretty well, that cloud has vanished away, but they are troubled about Adam being our Father and God. There is a very intelligent person investigating our principles, and who has been a great help to the Saints; he has all the works, and can get along very well with everything else, but the last "cat," and as soon as he can see that clearly, he will become a "Mormon." I instructed him to write to Liverpool upon it.

. . .

[Elder Joseph Hall]: Relative to the principles revealed, we have not the least difficulty. If Adam's being our Father and God cannot be proved from the Bible, it is all right.
