Day in the Life

Oct 9, 1858

Journal Entry

October 09, 1858 ~ Saturday

9th Robert started for Camp Floid with 30990 lbs of Fruits
I spent most of the day in the office. Gov Cummings
visited us in the afternoon & held a consultation with
D. H. Wells & others upon the subject of the meeting of the
Legislature He thought it best to have us meet at Filmore we
thought it our duty to meet at this City as the Legislator
made this city the seat of government & adjourned the
Legislator to this city. Gov Cumings thought it illegal
because it was a joint resolution of both houses but the
seat of Government at Fillmore was esstablished in the
first place by a resolution and if our last act is not
legal the first is not hence we have no seat of Govern
ment at all. Govornor Cumings agreed to consider
the matter & report. I went to bed sick at night
