House I spent the afternoon in the office. Elder Nathaniel V. Jones
arived this morning for [from] the United States Armey with the express
He visited with Capt Van vleit both Ritedjments the first
was the 10th Ridgment that was a full Regiment the officers
were young & full of fire & they swore they would come
in any how they could whip out Utah Capt van vleit
advised them not to come for they could get nothing
they would have to fight their way but they swore
they would fight their way through after van vleit
left them they marched 30 miles instead of 15 the next day,
the 2nd Riegiment he met with they were old officers they
considered the matter over more & thought it an imposition
to be sent out here as a political movement to kill innocent
people or to get killed they will be at the pacific springs
to night & our Brethren will commence operation upon
them
