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.
