. . . In the Spring on the 10th of May 1852 I crossed the Mo. [Missouri] River at Plat[te]vill[e] for a move to the mountains:  in Company with Father Haws & Family.  [Truman] Tryons and some [others].  My enemies learning that I was going to move for the mountains[.]  About the time that I did Start: one of them by the name of Rolls came down to the river as I learned to Stop me:  I had been Ferrying emigration over the river after I had helped to finish Ferrying the Company over:  my own teams stood on the bank of the river to be taken over that day:  I saw old Rolls standing on the banks and knowing him to be a mobocrat:  Something Struck me I had better take my team across:  Consequently I put my team on the boat before his face & eyes:  and landed them on the other Side without his

 knowing it untill I had got Savely [safely] on the other Side:  when the boat returned and I was not with it:  he made inquiry for me and learned that I was Savely [safely] over the river out of his reach.  He swore and Said I was to Smart for him:  and left for home.

 cleared the road and pursued our journey,:  that night they crawled into Camp and Stole two horses belonging to the company.  We hunted for them but did not discover the horses but saw their Signs where the Indians had lain and where they had crawled through the grass:  We persued our journey and the next night we camped on a Stream of water. a Small river that was full of  buffalo [fish.] next day we <we spent the most of it in catching them by a brush line that we made out of brush. We had a feast on fish.
