Brother G. A. Smith spoke in plainness his feelings concerni[ng] some principles of Elder O. Pratts wharein he differed from President Young concerning the creation of Adam out of the Dust of the Earth & the final consumation of knowledge & many other things. I am afraid when he comes to write he will publish in opposition to President Youngs views but he promised he would not many remarks were made which Thomas Bullock took & it is filed in the Historians office
