Mormon History, Dec 9, 1847

[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 9th I met in council with the Twelve & the presidency of the seventies. John D Lee was brought up for trial for improper conduct with his family. After Hearing the testimonie upon the subject President Young reproved Br Lee vary sharply for trying to cover his faults & Justify himself in his errors for it was evident he had done wrong. President Brigham Young backed up Br Joseph Youngs reproof, & reproved Br Lee himself & required him to call his family together And to settle his difficulties. +
I was in council with Br Young in the evening And part of the evening I spent at his house.
