Well I suspose that is enough to confuse you for a while. I don't know if you really want all of this, but do with what you want.

My only question as of right now is did you ever hear of an disagreement between Daniel, Enos and the older boys?

Thanks for everything, if you have any questions let me know. I'll study what you have a little more.
