Mormon History, Nov 24, 1845, Monday

[William Clayton Writings] [Bishop Newel K.] Whitney complained that he was unable to get into the office on a Saturday night for Clayton had the key, and he asked that the clerks begin working nights. Clayton's temper flared again, and that time he told the bishop outright that he considered this oppressive, since they were already working every day, including Sundays, and had done so for twelve months. ``We had some pretty cutting reports back and forth and talked about 2 hours,'' he reported, ``and finally concluded to part without feelings.''
