Mon. 3rd. Stayed till 4 O’clock, completing our arrangements; when J[ohn].F.S[nedaker]. and myself, having taken leave of our friends here, started once more. A.M.C. stopping behind with the intention of coming on tomorrow. A short distance on the road, we overtook G.G. and J. Wilson, and traveled on with them. Camped on the Little Papeao [Pappea]. We had not been long on the camp ground, before our animals stampeeded, without any apparent cause; the two mules going back on the road some distance, causing us some little trouble.
Tues. 4th. Traveled accross the Big Papeao [Pappea], and coming up to the Elk Horn camped on the West side of it, to await the arrival of A.M.C. and S.G. who had also stopped behind.
Mon. May, 10th Left Genoa 
Wed. 12th. The company being now complete made a regular start, having all crossed the Loup Fork

Thurs. May 27th 1858. When a little above Chinney [Chimney] Rock, Brothers J. Murdock and Van Ettan came up to us from the lower road; who with Worthing, Knowles, West, and H. 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.
