We started early in the morning and soon came up with the main body of

the camp. I rode ahead about three miles to hunt my cow. We did not

have her last night being with the main camp. We traveled nine or ten

miles and then rested our teams. We started again and traveled three

miles farther where we found the President and Heber camped on the

brink of a long bluff. We concluded to go to the other bank which we

did and camped in a good place. In the evening the band went and played

for the President and Heber and then went to a farmer's house at the

owner's request about three quarters of a mile from camp to play for

his family. He promised to give us some honey if we would play for

him. We played about an hour and then left but neither saw nor heard

anything of the honey. We learned afterwards, however, that Hutchinson

had a pail under his cloak and got it full of honey after the rest had

left the house and kept it to himself, very slyly.
