Wednesday, March 11

In the morning I reported to President Young our success and the

request of the citizens of Keosaugua and he advised us to go again. We

accordingly started about eleven o'clock. I again rode with William

Kimball, Horace Whitney and James Smithies. When we arrived we were

welcomed again with the same kind feelings as yesterday. Pitt had a

severe chill all the way and when we got there it commenced raining

and made it very unpleasant. The house was again filled but we only

made $20.00 besides all expenses. We learned that there is a party of

socialists there and they and the priests are much opposed to each

other. We also learned that a man named McCully was in jail close by

under sentence to be hung on the 4th of April for murdering a man and a

child. I did not feel so well at the concert as on the night previous

on several accounts. We started back between eleven and twelve and got

to the camp about three o'clock.
