As soon as they were camped President Young
stood up in his carriage and called upon the Bishops and
multitude who had gathered together to see the Handcart Companies
to bring them provisions and feed them to night to morrow
morning and noon and night again and while they stop here
I wish you all to tarry here until you are dismissed and I bless
you all in doing good and keeping the commandments of God

We then returned to our homes and
the Bishops and people brought the Hand Cart companies
all the provisions necessary

Captain Edmund Elsworth saluted his wives and
children as he passed his house but did not stop for anything
until his company was camped. He led the First Handcart
company by drawing the front handcart with three other^s^
breathren drawing their handcarts with him in the frontrank

Next day I call upon President Young
upon Church business. Among other things he said he
thought these hand cart companyi^es^ had a better time than the
teams had. "They have not had as hard a time as
we had in going to Missouri in 1833^4^. Then I went
to Missouri stayed in the cholera 15 days then returned to
Kirtland within three months making over 3000 miles which
^and^ I walked all the way and lay ^laid^ on the ground every night; but
if I had to fit out a company I would have fitted out the
carts different to what they were."

During the moring Presidents Young Kimball
Albert Carrington Edmund Elsworth and myself rode down
to the Public Square to visit the Handcart Companies. The
emigrant Saints generally looked well and cheerful. They
shook our hands warmly. There was a great quantity
of provisions on hand in the camp brought in by the citizens
I laid hands upon one of the bretheren who was taken sick
