An express came in on the in the night saying that Governor
Cummings & Lieut. Col. Philip St. George Cook 2nd Dragoons the
Ex-commander of the Mormon Battalion in Mexico had arrived with
other officers on Saturday and Sunday last with about 300 dragoons
They had canvassed over the walls of Fort Bridger and the Corell
but their operations looked like temporary work and not like Winter
Quarters for the whole army. It was still thought that they
might attempt to come in.
