May 25th I slept fairly well, until 7 am. restless some of the time.
After breakfast I took a walk. At 11:30 Bro. Brigham Young called on me,
the first time he has been out. I was much pleased to see him out again,
he stayed about one hour. In the afternoon Bros B. Young & C. H. Wilcken

trip until tomorrow. I ate a few oysters with cracker & butter for my
supper and enjoyed them. after going to bed I slept comfortably till midnight.
