October 20, 1850 ~ Sunday 20th Sunday I met with the saints in the Bowery was called upon to address the meeting I gave an account of my mission to the East I spoke of my dream I dreamed of diying & going to the place of the departed spirits I saw Brother Joseph & Hyram Smith & many of the Saints who had died they all appeared to be in a hurry I thought strange to find them in a hurry and I enqiuired the cause they informed me that the time was set for Christ to come as the great Bridegroom to the Earth to meet the Bride the Lambs wife & they had not had time to prepare as those of other dispensations & had to be in a hurry in order to get ready. And when I awoke I was overwhelmed with a peculiar sensation at the view of the work ofthe Latter Day Saints Had to perform in order to prepair the Bride for to meet the Bridegroom

Autobiography Volume 2 circa 1865
Great Salt Lake City on the I drove into the
City at the head of the company and was glad to gaze once
more upon the Valley of the Mountains—the New Home
of the Saints. I met with Elder George A Smith
and many others and I drove to the two rooms which I
had made while in the Valley before. President Young
had come out to meet me the day previous but he
returned and I did not see him
The sickness and deaths in our
company occurred in the earlier part of the journey when
besides those named Captains Petty and Hardy were
very ill and myself and family had some little sickness
with the rest; but on the whole the journey was
performed with but few casualties of such a journey
and moderate mortality.
I set about arranging my affairs
and those of the company concerning our stock &c during
the first days after our arrival in Salt Lake city
