[Hosea Stout Diary] Sunday July the 25th 1847. Staid in. Sent out 5 men around town. A steam Boat landed today
Went to Council in the evening
Heard letters read from Hyde containg covenants which he desired to have the people [of] Garden Grove enter into before they could be restored to fellowship. The Council objected to them as unreasonable.
Those covenants required them to swear under the most bitter curses and imprecations & Damnation to themselves to all eternity that they had not stolen or knew any one who had nor would not since they left the Mississippi river & that they would inform on all who they knew who had or did &c[.] Let this suffice that it was totally vetoed by the Council
This Evening after Council there was a trial between Br D. H. Wells Esq & a Br Young for a span of mules which the latter claimed as his & Wells now had the case laid over[.] Well had bought them in Nauvoo.
