Thursday, July 15

Morning pleasant but cloudy. At twelve o'clock President Young, Kimball

and all the rear wagons arrived, eight in number. The President is much

better. Brother Rockwood is considerably better. Orders were given for

this company to harness up, and during the time till we started onward

at half-past one we had a very refreshing shower. After traveling two

miles we passed another spring of good water at the foot of a high hill

a little to the right of the road. At half-past three we formed our

encampment at the foot of some high red bluffs, having traveled four

and a half miles, and enjoyed two more pleasant showers. Feed here good

and a beautiful spring of good, clear, cold water a little to the left

of the road. The evening fine and pleasant.
