Friday, May 15

This morning Crisman called and said he should not let his cattle go

until Brother Miller returned. I then concluded to take what teams I

had and take my wagons and go on a few miles. I borrowed two yoke of

oxen from Sister Kay and started. We got the wagons over the river and

on the bluff about a mile and then stopped to let the teams feed. I

walked on and met Brothers Miller, Pitt, Kay, and Hutchinson with a

large drove of cows and cattle. I told Brother Miller my situation and

the request of the President but I could get no satisfaction. We moved

on with half of the wagons and I selected a spot over a quarter of a

mile from timber. They then went back for the other wagons and got them

all up about six o'clock. Reddings have come here also, and Sister Egan

with one or two others.
