Autobiography Volume 2 circa 1865
Sunday
We all got over breakfast and organized for going into Winter Quarters
The company that came out to meet us went in front of our encampment
It was a hard day's drive as our horses were worn down and 30
miles were before us
When within about one mile of Winter
Quarters a halt was made and the company was drawn up in
order and addressed by President Young ^who dismissed the Pioneer Camp with his blessing^ and then we drove into
the city in order. The streets where lined with people to
shake hands with us as we passed along. Each drove to his
own home. ^Three^ days previous to my arrival I had
a daughter born to me and I found both mother and child doing
well and all cheerful and happy. ^&c &c &c^
