C[ahoon].
Aa[ron] Johnson-W[illia]m Marks gave me a deed of the Ridgon house in Kirtland [but] did not tell me why he gave it [to] me, [and I] have it yet, it is recorded.
H S Eldridge sued Hodges for a just debt-[T]he Mr Mark was Tarnishee & not appearing-
[I]t went ag[ains]t. hims[elf] as Tarnishee-Marks gave Torges a power of attorney to sue me. & Marks acknowledged I went legally (after looking over the law regulating attachs) a letter from Trustees wanting me to give Pres[iden]t. Marks a quit claim deed. O[rson] Hyde thought it was a hoax in A[lmon] W Babbit, [but] afterwards they found out they could see without Marks.
Voted [that] Aaron Johnson sell it. & do the best you can, & see that the avails dont get to apostatize-Aaron cook go. Hyrum H Blackwell, go. Wilkeson, Hewitt, Gilbert, Belnap go if just this Winter-Little John Utley go. James H Glines, Gilbert Morse, J Pack, if a little while. There is no compulsion, says B. Y., to those Seventies to go. O[rson] P[ratt] came in. Jacob Frazier go at the suggestion of H C K. Albert Merrill go-B. Y. requested the Pres[iden]ts. of 70s to nominate & they would als[o] nominate-Voted James Clayton.
Seventies send their Recorder home. Acc[oun]ts of their progress, also Newspapers about Mormonism.
