1
Forasmuch as the Lord has revealed unto me
that my enemies, both in Missouri and this State, were again in the
pursuit of me; and inasmuch as they pursue me without a cause, and have
not the least shadow or coloring of justice or right on their side in
the getting up of their prosecutions against me; and inasmuch as their
pretensions are all founded in falsehood of the blackest dye, I have thought it expedient
and wisdom in me to leave the place for a short season, for my own
safety and the safety of this people. I would say to all those with
whom I have business, that I have left my affairs with agents and clerks
who will transact all business in a prompt and proper manner, and will
see that all my debts are canceled in due time, by turning out property,
or otherwise, as the case may require, or as the circumstances may
admit of. When I learn that the storm is fully blown over, then I will
return to you again.
