Meetings, letters, and affidavits are brought to Ford to inform him of the situation from both sides of the escalating conflict and he makes a judgement call: Joseph Smith, we\u2019re going to arrest you and if you resist it means war. Ford details the facts he\u2019s learned of the situation and his judgment of the events in a letter to Joseph Smith and Jo replies telling Governor Ford that he\u2019s sadly misinformed by anti-Mormon propaganda. Jo tells the Mormons that the Governor isn\u2019t on their side and that a war is imminent; he prepares by ordering the Nauvoo Legion to build temporary battle camps and dig defensive trenches around the city.
