Salt Lake City, . Pres. Woodruff, & Council, Dear Brethren, Through the kindness & liberality of Bro R. K.

I feel flattered with the Eulogy therein contained, not particularly ^on account of the^ praise to those ^alone^ who waere alone pioneers, for they in reallity could not do any different, Bbut praise to God, our heavenly Father, who pioneeered us here. aAlthough I was not numbered among they 143 who came as that noble band, But I was with you nearly all the way from Green River, and only Stayed back to let the presidant's company keep on the lead. yYou remember coming out on the East bBench to meet the Battallion Detachment, under Captain James Brown. I was then one of the Boys, and I immediately went to work making adobies, and layeing them up into athe fFort wall of what was called the oOld Fort, of which I believe I built about one half with my own hands. and I know I built the first cChimney that Ever drew Smoke in these valleys. ^It was^ for Presidaent Brigham Young, in a log house on the East Side of the Fort; and as it is comforting to recount the Reminescences of (over)
