Br Joseph Exrised greate simpathy for Br Oliver saying Poor Boy Poor Boy casting his eyes on the ground. And then Said as they Ware Translating the Book of Mormon at His Father in Laws in Susquhanah County Penny. Tey ware thretnd by a Mob and in the same time Father Kng<i>hts came Down from Colevill Broom County New York and Desired them to go home with him and preach to them in his Neighbourhood And on Account of the Mob Spirit prevailing they concluded to goe. And they ware teacig And preaching the Gospels they ware taken with <a> writ and Before a Judge as fals Prophets. And the Prossecuting Atorny had conceived in his own Mind That a few simple questions would convince the Court By the Answers Bro Joseph would give <to> that <that> charge was Correct. So he calls out Jo which was the first Merical Jesus raught. Why <said Bro Joseph> we read He created the world and what He done previous to that I have not as yet learned. The answer completly confounded the Prossicuting Atorny that he requested the Judge to Dismis the case. and went out to Organ<ize> the Mob that was on the Out Side. At about this time a Lawyer By the Name of Reede I think was his naem came in to the court and Stated He was Mr Smiths Atorney and wished to see him <in> a Private room And was <put> in to <a> back room and when in he hoisted a window and told Br Joseph & Oliver to flee in to the forest which was close at hand. And they wandered in a dense Forest all Night and often times in Mud and water up to thare Knees. And Brother Oliver got quite exhausted in the After Part of the Night and Brother Joseph had to put his arm around him and allmost carry him And Just as the day Broke in the East Brother Oliver gave out Entirely and he Br Joseph leaned him against an Oake tree Just out side a field fence Br Oliver Crying out how long O Lord how Long Br Joseph have we got to suffer these things Just this moment Peter James & John came to us and Ordaiend --to-- us to the Holy Apostleship and gave <unto> us the Keys of the Disp<e>nsation of the fulltimes of times.
