8th I started this morning with 3 loads for provo two loads of secretaries and one of Goods it soon began to snow and I rode 12 miles on a slow walk in the worst snow storm we have had this winter I came near freezing my hands and I became so chilled I could hardly move when I got to Unionville the rode was lined with people and teams to Provo for 50 miles many suffered and some came near perishing horses died by the way side men unloaded their goods in the mud others took their team off and left their teams waggons sticking in the mud some teams gave out and whole families lay in the mud under their waggons over night women carried their children in their arms and waided in water mud and snow knee deep. I stoped at Unionville and spent with sister Martecia Smith and was glad to get into a harbor
