[Brigham Young Sermon] Attended meeting in the PM when we were addressed by President Young on various subjects. He appointed a guard to protect the cattle and city both day and night as long as we stay here. William Cutler and James Comings were appointed captains each to take their ten men every other day and place them on the most prominent points of land to guard their cattle from the Indians while feeding. He said he was thronged all the time with folks coming to be sealed and he wished the saints to understand that all these things would have to be done over again and that he could tent to sealing no more till he go to the valley and after I am gone said he let no one else try to seal any one when I am gone, if they do they will burn their fingers, try it if you want. -- Winter Quarters, Nebraska [MRJ 215]
