[Hosea Stout Diary] Wednesday Jany 14th 1846. Went to the Temple at day light and took breakfast and met the guard as usualWe rode down to the river at the lower stow or ferry and down the river to the foot of Main Street and wattered our horses and dismissed the guard and met the Lodge and then went home about Eleven oclock.While I was there Col Scott and wife came to my house.Just as dinner was ready an express came from the Temple for me forthwith whereupon Scott and I went immediately with out waiting for dinner.I was there notified by President B. Young to send spies out in different parts of the country to watch and report the proceedings of the mob â€"
I committed the business of sending spies out in Iowa to Sanford Porter who lives in Iowahe was to send some three or dour in different directions to watch their movements and let us know when anythings is going on among them against us.
When the guard had assembled we rode to the upper Steam Mill and wattered our horses & then rode round and through the North part of the City and regulated the guard & police and sent my horse home & after assisting Hunter to be Sealed to Lydia Edmunds I went home with Allen Weeks and staid all night
