I traveled in the Horton [D.] Hates [Haight's] company. We were two days crossing the Weber River and had to build a bridge across Echo Creek. I was wet to my waist for 1½ days. The next we were bothered in crossing Hams Fork, here I was wet to my ways [waist] 11 days in succession. On arriving at Green River we found the banks overflowed, in trying to swim the cattle, I was one hour and a half in the water. My flesh was perfectly numb, my knees were lame and stiff for weeks and months in consequence. We arrived at Florence on the 28 th of July where the emigrants had been waiting our arrival some six weeks. I crossed the Missouri river and went to Uncle Rufus Pack's, 30 miles from Florence. Uncle and his family seemed very glad to see me. Some of his family are Josephites. He does not seem settled in mind, and hardly knows what to be. . . . Dan Harrington and I had quite a discussion on religion, he being a Josephite. Uncle Rufus said, 'Dan thought himself very smart but he is a fool.' Cousin Robert Coster is also a Josephite and forsaken the true way." . . . ; 6.25" x 9.25"; 283 pages; Signed by Author.
