July 15, 1885
Two days before we arived The roof of a Dairy house
24 feet long fell upon 9 persons Killing the Mother & one
son & injuring 3 others. We have a plesant morning
we drove North into the canyon through which runs
the outlet of the fish Lake. I went to fishing & caught
25 trout with the Hook the Rest of the brethren caught
several we camped in the canyon for the night. 6 [miles]

July 16, 1885 ~ Thursday

The Altitude is so high I suffer vary much at
night I can neither Breath or sleep lying down have to be
boulstered up to sleep or sit in a chair

July 17, 1885 ~ Friday

17 A plesant Morning I receivd 2 letters from Jaques
& Clara I wrote 3 letters to Jaques Phebe & Clara
A great number of People are ariving to day & camping
We find Fish Lake to be 9000 feet above sea level
7 miles long 1 1/2 wide we crossed the Lake in a skiff
opposite our camp about one third of the length of the
Lake from the North End [FIGURE] we measured the
depths of the water from the west to the East shore & we
found the water the following Depth 50 feet, 75, 132,
143, 162, deepest 168 1/2, 125, 45 1/2, about 3 feet
at each shore. If we had gone through the middle of
the Lake or further South I think we would have
found the water over 200 feet deep. There is one pecu-
liarity about this Lake I never saw in any other Deep
water There is a vegitation growing in the bottom of the
Lake in Deep water like coarse weeds 2 to 3 feet high
thick Enough to mow a swath the water is vary clear
