[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 10th I made President B Young A Present of fine blue Broad cloth which I got in England. I spent A part of the day with Br Young. I walked with him from the office to Br Warner Porters whare President Young Administered in the ord[in]ances of the house of the Lord.
I read several papers from the eastern states which gives an account of the dredful famine in Ireland. More than 130,000 persons have died in the famine and Apparently the destress has but just began. Also the Breaking of the Banks And large firms throughout England which has caused A great panic & much perplexity through out those nations. The United States are still at war with Texas & much division in the government concerning the war.
