MAY 5.

Today we rested, partly to observe the Sabbath and partly to let our

teams rest. The day has been fair, with a cool breeze from the north.

Sun sets gloriously, with fair promise of tomorrow. About fifty wagons

went by us today, while others are stopping near us. Our men are now

engaged in the business of the closing day--feeding cattle, etc., and

others loitering about the wagon and thinking, perhaps, of Sabbath

evenings spent in a different manner.
