That in consequence of these things
there was a scourge awaited the camp
And as it was prophesied of so it was
fulfilled for soon after we had cam
ped by Brother Burjketts we were
visited by the destroying angel and 8
or 10 of our brethren were immediately
lade helpless beneath the stroke I assisted
in taking care of them through the day
and the night following, and through
the night and in the morning there
continued to be new attacks And
in the morning Joseph remarked
that it was the duty of the camp to brake
up and disperse and take up their abode
around among the brethren lest the sco
urge should be more severe. A reser
ve was made however for ^a^ sufficient
number to tarry to take care of the
sick. Accordingly the camp dispersed
And Brother Seth Hitchcock was one
of the number attacked with sickness
and he belonging to our tent it reque
ired another of our tent to take care of him
