Autobiography Volume 1 circa 1842-1865
I spent the at Father Carter's packing up the last remnants of our goods and on the next day Phebe's father gave us one hundred dollars for which sum we both signed a document to the effect that we were satisfied and would hold no further claim to any of his real estate or personal propety About this time my mind was in suspence because the camp of Saints did not arrive from the Islands and I had not heard anything by letter from them for some time past. The sickness of our babe also was an anxiety to us
