Transcription

Grate complaints are made and making against br. Granger in Kirtland, about his getting drunk. It is said that he and Oliver Cowdry took a real drunken scrape together, and that he went into the Pulpit and preached, when he was so drunk, that he could scarcely stand: these reports come from defferent persons, and I suspect they are true; and they ought not to go unreproved.
