Egan, were escorting Colonel Kane to Washington. We turned off the road nearly a mile, to receive instructions from President Brigham Young, which came in a letter, the contents of which was read to our camp. The contents made every heart rejoice. (Extract from George Goddard’s Journal)
June-------On the head-waters of the Sweet-Water, met Grosebecks’ camp going to Platt[e] Bridge for a train of goods. By these Brethren we had a proclamation from President Buchannan to the Inhabitants of Utah read to us. It was so full of lies, and showed so much meanness, that it elicited three groans from the company.
Mon. 21st Arrived in Great Salt Lake City the second time.
