The Prophet had a conversation with Robert Foster and they agreed to meet in May and "have a settlement." The Prophet asked him to be "quiet" until then, but Foster refused. "I then told him I had done my duty; the skirts of my garments were free from his (Foster's) blood; I had made the last overtures of peace to him; and then delivered him into the hands of God, and shook my garments against him as a testimony thereof" (History of the Church, 6:345).
