Monday, May 4

Finished my letter to Diantha and sent it by John Richards. Horlick has

concluded to tarry till my wagons are fixed. I spent the day examining

my flour and crackers and helping to fix the tent as considerable of

my crackers and flour are damaged on account of having poor wagons.

I dreamed last night that I saw Diantha and her babe. Her babe was

dressed in white and appeared to be lying down with its eyes closed.

She was bent over it apparently in sorrow. When I went to her she flew

to me earnestly but the babe seemed to be kept still and asleep, and I

awoke. This dream has troubled me considerably. Evening met the clerks

of 50's in my tent and instructed them how to make their reports, etc.
