Journal Entry
November 09, 1858 ~ Tuesday
Nov 9th
I spent the day in the office compiling History I spent
the evening with President Young the time was spent
mostly in conversation upon taning leather & making
fish oil J Cummings had bought of Homer Dunkan
some 20 gallons of fish oil but it was like soap & good
for nothing he had kept it stiring all summer and
spoiled it. President Young had told them if they
wanted to make good fish oil make a vat or big tub
set it in the sun & throw in all the heads & guts & let
them lie & rot and stink & they will all turn to oil
you can put a little water in the Bottom to keep the
oil from drying
