[Hosea Stout Diary] Wednesday Nov. 11th 1846. Damp day. At home unable to workat 7 oclock went to council at Brighams house. Nothing done of importance. Heard from Nauvoo & Hancock County. Things were in a state of anarchy and confusion[.] The mob even driving each other & plundering at their will. The Govenor talks of doing something
To day I recieved a written notice that I had been appointed by a meeting of the Seventies last night to "visit each house, tent or waggon in which dwells any of the Seventies or any of their families" in the Ward in which I live and ascertain their names, age, standing, quorum, and also the condition of themselves & families according to a form given me at the time and make a report next Friday at a meeting to be held, also to notify every abled bodied man to attend a "BEE" to dig the mill race which is to be done by the Seventies next Saturday &c.
The object is to look up and set in order the different quorums of Seventies &c as will be noticed as we go on.
