Thursday, March 19

Went to ask council whether I should go to sell my china. Saw Heber who

advised me to go. A few of us started and soon met President Young who

said we had better go back and go with the camp who were then starting

on their way. We accordingly turned back our horses and struck tents in

a hurry. At twelve o'clock we started on our journey. After traveling

about six or seven miles we had to go up a very bad bluff which took

us till five o'clock. President Young's company went ahead of us and

camped three miles from the bluff. Some of our teams gave out and we

only went about a mile from the bluff and camped in a little point of

timber a little from the road. Our teams were very tired.
