Mormon History, Nov 3, 1845

[Hosea Stout Diary] Monday Nov. 3rd 1845. I came home this morning before day and took breakfast and met the hands at the Hall at 7 oclock as usual and was engaged there till noon in matters pertaining to the company and then came home and took dinner & then Saw John Kay about commencing work at gun Smithing who agreed to arrainge and Start the Shop, I then went to see Br John Lytle & about his black smith Shop who agreed to have his shop used for company purposes and for forging gun breeches &c but all of it amounted to nothing for I was disappointed in both. I then went to the police and Saw the two Herring about their going home and then came home and A. Patten came to my house and made Some arraingements for his company.
