There is a great deal said these days, about—Keeping a biography of our lives—In the preceeding lines I have put down what came to my mind in my own way—but am afraid it is not very correct <& failed> in a grammatical way—and there are other Items that has been left out, that my children think I should mention—It would have been a pleasure to have gone back to Florence Neb—and gone over the ground where as a little girl of 8 & my bro Jos[eph Brook Scarborough] 10—were housed for a month waiting for the Utah wagons & teamsters to take us on to Zion—How we then were left a lone some times—while mother [Elizabeth Brook Scarborough] went out looking for work so as to buy us food—Then toiling slowly along with Ox teams—crossing plunging into the Rivers over hills and Prairies—stopping at night for a well earned rest for man and beast—natured seemed to have provided these camping spots—water and grass for the animals—who [that] had to—be guarded from any attack of the Indians—but we were fortunate not to have had this trouble as I can remember—
The covered wagons made me sea sick—so I did not have a very pleasant time—my Mother &amp; Bro. walked a great deal of the way—

We arrived at Florence, Nebraska the 2nd of June, then the stopping place for the Saints. We remained there one month awaiting the ox teams to come and take us on our long journey to the Rocky Mountains. While we were encamped at Florence, my mother [Elizabeth Brook Scarborough] got work at a gentleman’s home to help earn our food. We cooked flap jacks out-of-doors. We were all housed on one large room with our bed made on the floor.
I got my first view of Indians all painted and feathered and riding their horses while at Florence. Our stay at Florence lengthened into one month and we were very happy to see the teams roll in to take us on to Zion. My mother and brother [Joseph Brook Scarborough] walked a great deal of the way. Our journey was uneventful as far as any trouble with the Indians or herds of buffalos were concerned. It certainly was a novelty to see the teams and wagons pitch into the great streams, blocking the wheels going dow[n] hill, hearing the teamster holler to his two and three yolk of oxen pulling up the hill again. We gathered buffalo chips to make fires for cooking and for bon-fires.
On September 12, 1861, we arrived safely in Salt Lake City, Utah.
