We arrived at New York on June 3 after being five weeks on the ocean. It was at the time of the Civil War and we came through many places that were all torn up and destroyed. In some places the railroad tracks were fixed up. In some places we saw trains of cars ruined and in places where we couldn't get cars we were loaded into cattle cars. All one day and night we were crowded so thick in a car, we had to stand up. We were delayed many times for the want of cars to move us, but the Lord was on our side and we got safely to the camping place in Wyoming where we found another company of saints about ready to move on.



Our train having not arrived yet we had to camp there four weeks while the oxen and the teamsters rested and loaded up ready for the journey back to Utah.



We started on our journey back to Salt Lake early in July and arrived here on the 23rd of Sept. We were met at the Eagle Gate in Salt Lake City by Pres. Heber C. Kimble and Daniel H. Wells. As there was no one to take care of us Brother Henry W. Hughes and myself with his nephew and wife were sent to Pleasant Grove to some of their friends.
