President B. Young.
Dear Brother
After being detained nearly nine weeks at Benton the last of this years emigration arrived when I organized my Co by appointing Elder James Smith President of the Saints, Elder Francis A. Brown Chaplain and Elder Samuel Southwick Secretary of Company and on the first of September I started homeward. During my stay at Benton I lost five animals, four horses and one mule, including my riding horse; supposed to be stolen by white men. There has four deaths occurred; the first Sister Mary Rollinson, aged 72 of fatigue of the journey; the second Bro John Williams 75 years of age, of old age; and two infants by premature birth. The health of the Co is generally good, I expect to camp on the Pacific Creek to night. We encounter much head wind, but our animals are in good heart and the feed is excellent. Nights are cold, but we make ourselves comfortable by keeping large fires, and &lt;using&gt; extra clothing. I have not seen any signs of Indians as yet and hope to escape any dangers from them. The following is a list of the names of emigrants.
	Elders James Smith, Francis A. Brown and Henry Barlow, returning Missionaries.

Tuesday 25th I bought me two lamps and packed my things to be ready for the P.M. Express at 4,20[.] Bro Edward Shoebridge accompanied me and I bid Bro John Brown &amp; D M Stuart and Omaha adieu.



Wednesday 26th I spent the night on the U.P.R.R. having a poor chance to sleep. We sped our way over the vast plains of Nebraska drawn by the Iron horse. Arived at Benton [Wyoming] in the night – 3 A.M. on the morning of the 27th



Thursday 27th I remained on the cars till day light when I found Bro A. C. Piper who invited me to breakfast with him. I got out to camp during the day and was consigned to Capt Mumford Company. A girl by the name of Miss Rose Taylor was taken from us by her sister who lives in Cheyenne[.] A great row was kicked up over this matter, till she consented to stay.



August 1868 Benton



 I went with Bro Piper and several of the Brethren before the judge of the court of Benton to have the case decided. The Girl foolishly consented to remain which ended the matter. The judge acted fairly in the case.



At prayers Captain Mumford organized by retaining Bro James Smith president or Capt of the saints as he had been all the way from Europe and appointed me Chaplain for the company, and Bro Samuel Southwick was appointed secretary.



We attended prayers and retired to rest.



Friday 28th. After prayers and breakfast I wrote Bro D.M. Stuart a letter and one to my dear home informing them of my progress on my journey home. Bro Pyper came over to camp and stayed all night[.] 5 were baptized and we attended confirmation in the evening at prayers. I spoke to the saints a few moments followed by Bro Pyper

Wednesday 2nd  Bro J[ames]. Smith &amp; I got a gun  a piece and set out on a hunt. About 11 A.M. we surprised a few deer. I killed one young doe, the first I ever shot in my life. We packed her to camp on our backs which made us very tired. We dressed our game and cooked a portion which rewarde us for all our labor. Gave a portion to several of the sick. I was called upon to adminster to many of the sick in camp.

Several being sick with colds and mountain fever I was called upon to administer to them.

Friday 4th  We moved on some 15 miles and camped on a small creek for the night[.] I walked all day besides taking a hunt with Bros Smith and [William Caroll] Penney. One man of our Co was missing when we got into camp. Bro Smith and I went back on the road 1½ miles and built fires as signals for the wanderer.

Sunday 6th  Bro Smith &amp; myself struck out hunting traveling all day but found nothing but 3 sage hens. The Co moved on to whiskey gap where we camp up with it in the evening very tired having my heel badly blistered. &amp;lt;I had a fair sig[h]t of the Devils gate from the mountains
