29 I spent the day in the office in the fore part of the day I
attended the meeting in the Social Hall President Young spoke
in the power of God & expressed his feelings upon the subject
of our present position & the feelings of the world against
us it did my soul good to hear him He was followed by
H. C. Kimball & D. H Wells who spoke to the Edifycation
of the people He was followed by W. Woodruff who said
that He had faith in the doctrin taught by President Young
for the rising Generation to go on foot instead of Hors back

1200 miles on foot & averaged 40 miles a day then waided the
Missisippi swamp from Little Rock Ark to Memphis Tenn
200 miles & ownly 16 miles out of water one day walked
