Mormon History, Dec 7, 1845

[Hosea Stout Diary] Sunday Decr 7th 1845. This morning there was a light snow on the ground which had fell last night I started to the Temple to a meeting of the Seventies and met Hunter & his wife coming to my house & I went back with them.When I returned I found Br A Patten who had come to see me on matters respecting purchasing some iron & other things so after transacting the business with him & Hunter went to his Brotherinlaws I went to the Temple & found that the meeting had been moved to the Music Hall and adjourned till 2 oclock P. M.I saw some of the guard at the Temple who told me that the disaffected police were still raging about as usualI went from thence to the Music Hall where there was still a large company of Saints who had not dispersed and fell in company with Br John D Lee who wanted to see me as he had been informed that he was one who had been cut off from the police last Friday night and he was very much dissatisfied with me about that and some other th
ings which he had heard
which had caused him to think that I was not his friend.We talked the matter over as we went to his house and continued the same while there and untill we had returned to the Temple & then went into it and continued our conversation untill time to meet the Seventies which resulted in his being convinced that the things which he was dissatisfied with me about was entirely false and that instead of being his enemy was a friendinstead of cutting him off from the police had not done anything about his case but had considered him one of my strongest friends but he plainley saw that those who were making feelings between us were equally our enemies & thus ended the difference between us.
I remained at the Temple awhile and some of the disaffected police were there who had been saying that they were anxious to have a talk with me but none of them even hinted the thing to me & never had in all their pretended grievences but when I asked and any of them what
their feelings were about these things they would allways say it was all well
J. D. Hunter came and I went home with him and took dinner and we then met the policeSome or nearly all the disaffected police met again and reported ready for guard as usual & as though nothing had happened thus showing that they did not regard my authority and treated these matters contempteously but I detailed the guard and paid no respect to them or let on as I knew that they were present.After which just as we were going away Daniel Carn asked me in presence of all the rest if he was needed on guard to night to which I replied I did not as the guard was made out.He then desired to know if he was wanted on guard any moreI told him that under the present circumstances he was not.He then wanted to know why & I told him & he said he was not guilty and wanted a meeting called to have the matter settled & I told him it was a matter between him and me & I was ready to settle all difficulties myself
&c and continued our talk to the Masonic Hall where I was going to a company
meetingwhen we got there we appointed a time to settle & have an understanding of our differences and partedHe manifested a good spirit which convinced me that he was not confederate with the rest.I then met with the company in the Hall and done the necessary business and went home at 9 oc
