[Hosea Stout Diary] Friday Nov. 14th 1845. This morning I went to J. D. Hunters & saw him about what my brother told me in relation to the common stock business of the companies so we concluded to reduce all the opperations of my company to business like principals in all the features where in it partook of common stock principals which [it] did in some things although we had not yet entered into particular mode of business; but had gone ahead at work at any thing which we thought best for the general good of the company and all things were in an exceeding prosperous condition and far in advance of the anticipations of the most sanguine.After we had concluded as above mentioned we went to the upper Steam Mill now at our control & laid the matter before them & showed them the reasonswhich thing met their feeling and they all concurred in the same.We then went to the Hall and laid the matter before the hands there which likewise met their sanction.I then went home & took dinner
at 3 oclock & then met
the police and went home with Hunter & took supper and then went with him to B. Youngs to stand guard, but he not being at home we went to W. Richards where he was and on our way home with him we all went by the Masonic Hall to an exebition of the Paintings of the Scenery of the assassination of Joseph & Hyrum at Carthage & also of Joseph addressing the Nauvoo Legion on the 17th day of June 1844.It was an entertaining time and we staid till about 9 oclock and then went home with him and staid till mid-night and then went home with Hunter staid all night.
