9th We bought some things. All the
company rode in a small steamer
for three hours, tugging another boat
about eight miles. We passed through
many fish. The captain said there

Received the following telegram from Bro.
Jack: "Families of Presidency all well;
also Bro. Beebe's children. Everything
moving along smoothly at office, brethren

yesterday. Have clean up at mill
tomorrow. May expect large brick next

turning over, which if it had would
probably have drowned some of the
party. I met with Bros. Cannon and Smith and heard a letter read from
Journey.
