2nd Two rafts have been runing through the day & most of
the waggons have been brought over we swam our horses &
cattle over this morning though with some difficulty, we
held a council in the afternoon with the Twelve &
4 men was appointed to return to meet the camp & pilo[te]
them up, Br Brannan was with the council, we each one
wrote our views concerning the council to be given to the camp
it is an exceding hot day, and both man & beast are much annoyed
with musketoes. Several salmon trout were caught at the mouth of
a slue on green river near the ferry one weighing 7 1/4 lbs. Several
of the brethren gathered a quantity of salaratus from the salarat[us]
bedes about 3 miles east of the indipendance rock near the road &
thought it answered as good a purpose as the manufactured article
for raising bread & family purposes
