Thursday, July 29

We have had a very strong cold, east wind all the night and the morning

is tolerably cool. At eleven o'clock I was moved up to the other camp

about three-quarters of a mile. At ten o'clock we had a light shower.

It rained pretty heavily all around but mostly passed by here. At three

o'clock, the Pueblo brethren came in sight, the soldiers appearing in

military order, many of them mounted. They have twenty-nine wagons in

the company and one carriage. Presidents Young, Kimball and the Twelve

went to meet the brethren and met them in the canyon. They report that

they had very heavy rain there, the water rising in the creek three

feet in a very short time, caused by the rush from the mountains. The

brethren arrived at the lower camp at half past three and marched in

headed by the fifes and side drum. They have camped a little west

of the other camp. The brethren are represented as feeling well and

cheerful. At five o'clock the Twelve returned here and an hour later

went over north to the mountains, I suppose to hold a council.
