Saturday, May 30

Went and borrowed a robe and ornaments from Aaron Farr then rode

with Dr. Richards about three miles on the prairie. There were five

others and among them President Young. Two tents were brought and

we fixed them up and then met and clothed. There were President

Young, P. P. Pratt, J. Taylor, Geo. A. Smith, A. Lyman, John

Smith, N. K. Whitney, D. Spencer, O. Spencer, C. C. Rich,

E. T. Benson, Wm. Huntington and myself. Clothed and having

offered up the signs, offered up prayer, Heber C. Kimball being mouth.

We then conversed awhile and appeared again, Geo. A. Smith being

mouth--A. P. Rockwood and Wm. Kimball were guarding the tent.

Prayers were offered that we might be delivered from our enemies and

have teams to go on our journey, etc. About two o'clock we returned to

camp. Many of the teams were coming in and among the rest, the teams

sent back for my loading which all arrived tonight.
