Monday, August 30

This morning the cattle belonging to the camp behind came to us early,

having strayed away. John Pack and Bailey Jacobs went to drive them

back and to trade some with the Indians. We calculated to go on about

eleven miles but before we started, Father Eldridge came up with his

wagon and said he expected Spencer's 1st 50 company up soon. We then

concluded to stay here until they arrived and about three o'clock,

their wagons began to cross the creek. I was glad to find Aaron and

Loren Farr, and William Walker in this company with their families all

well and in good spirits. From Sister Olivia, I received some articles

sent by my family which were very acceptable indeed and made me feel

grateful. This company all appear well and cheerful and are not much

troubled on account of lack of teams. I spent the evening with Loren

and their families. The balance of our camp arrived before dark.
