17th 18th 19th, 20 & 21st I began to labour once
more during these days as I was overwhelmed
in business, as is the case with the whole camp
of Israel, I have never seen the Latter Day Sai-
nts in any situation where they seemed to be
passing through greater tribulations or wearing
out faster than at the present time after
being exposed to the sufferings of a tedious
journey of 10 months in tents and waggons
without houses we are oblieged to build a
city of log houses numbering more than one
thousand for the purpose of stoping in about
three months & having to go a great dista-
nce for timber & wood & get it out of deep
ravenes and hollows which makes it vary
hard to endure. I am trying to build a log
house for myself & one for Father
