Beloved President Young



It is with thanksgiving to God, our Eternal Father, that I avail myself of the privilege of sending you a few lines to inform you of the position &amp;c of the First Company of P. E. Fund Emigrants, that left "Mormon Grove", 5 miles from Atchison, July 2d 1855.



Since the date of starting we have travelled every day, Sundays excepted. The feed, and roads, have been good. The emigrants have enjoyed good health, generally. Three persons have died since we left viz an old man of 72 years [William Hunt] and 2 infants [James Cyrus Worlton and ?]. We are now on the Platte River, where the water is better and more plenty, and where we trust those who are weakly from diarrhhea will begin to amend. We have faith that God will bless us, as heretofore, and save the lives of this people. I know of no cases of dangerous illness in our Camp at the present time. General good health and cheerfulness prevails. We have meetings and sacrament on Sabbath.



In regard to our teams I would say that our Cattle are very light. We have some good oxen, but the most of them are very small. The Cows are poor and scrubby things. Not more than a dozen give any milk. All the milk in camp has not been sufficient to color the tea, yet I have heard of no complaint on this account from the passengers.



In regard to provisions I would state that we laid in to start with, agreably to the counsel of Elder E. Snow, 80 lbs Breadstuffs to each person. This quantity was expected to last till we should reach Green River, where, Elder E. Snow stated, we might expect provisions to meet us from the Valley. We still depend on provisions meeting us at that point, and shall in the meantime manage this department as prudently and economically as we Can. We have rationed the people ever since we left the Grove, and have allowed them 7 lbs flour or meal, each, per week; 1 lb Bacon 1/2 lb Sugar and a small allowance of Tea, Rice, Coffee, and dried Apples. Milk, as I before stated, I may say we have none. This makes it a little harder on the Company than it otherwise would be. We intend killing some Buffallo, if the Lord will, so that we may need to draw but lightly on the valley for supplies, as we understand the grasshoppers have this season greatly diminished the crops.



We have lost 4 Animals belonging to the P.E. Fund. one lame ox gave out yesterday, and though a guard was left with him last night, to bring him on this morning he was unable to come along. One ox died near the Big Blue. One cow, while eating a piece of a garment, swallowed two or three papers of needles, and died in about two days afterwards. One ox, while I was absent from Camp hunting another animal, ran off, and could [not] be found. We would have been happy to have saved all that has been intrusted to our Care, but notwithstanding our Continual care and anxiety, the P.E. Fund Company have unavoidably to sustain the losses mentioned.



The Indians are quiet and peaceably disposed, so far as we are able to learn at the present.



The P.E. Fund Company have 42 waggons, 105 yokes of oxen, 22 yokes of Cows and 401 passengers in this Train. There is 4 waggons, 5 yoke of oxen and 13 passengers beside.\



Major Howe <of army="" the="" u.s.=""> with a small command of Dragoons passed us at Sandy creek, the day before we got to the "Little Blue". On Saturday night and Sabbath he visited our Camp several times, and his deportment towards us was exceedingly courteous. On Sabbath he attended our forenoon service. The soldiers did not attend, as we had hinted somewhat plainly to the major that the United States soldiers had heretofore through their seductive immorality been a curse, when they should have been a blessing to our people. Out of regard to our feelings, he therefore gave orders to the soldiers to remain in Camp. Before leaving he offered the services of his Command as a protective escort to our Company. I thanked him for his exceeding great kindness, but declined his offer on the grounds that we wished to travel slow, and did not feel disposed to tax the time and patience of the United States <soldiers>, when we are surrounded with no apparrent danger.</soldiers></of>



Having read the foregoing to Elders [William] Glover, Gardner, [William] Pitts [Pitt] and Myers [Mayer], they give their unanimous sanction to the same, and desire me to say that we are one in all things for the salvation of this people and the property Committed to our Care And warmly join with me in expressing to you our unlimited confidence and esteem, And Praying God our Eternal <father> that heaven and earths choicest blessings may rest upon you so that your days and years may be many to minister to us the words of life and salvation.</father>



Desiring your prayers, and the prayers of the Saints, I have the honor to be your fellow laborer and pupil in the Kingdom of God.

Edward Hunter and Robert Campbell letter to Brigham Young

Edward Hunter and Robert Campbell letter to Brigham Young, July 17, 1850.

Having arrived at Kanesville in safety with my Brethern and friends about the second week in December I went to see most of the families I was to assist and bring out agreeable to your directions, and notified them to prepare themselves to join me in my company out the coming spring. Staid a few days in Kanesville and by the Council of Elder O. Hyde set out for Philadelphia to go to the United States Mint and make sales of our Gold Bullion – Returned in March to consummate my Missions –



 The first companies of golddiggers with Horse Teams had began to arrive – Those who afterwards passed through with ox Teams had bought up all the choice Cattle in the Country which occasioned a heavy rise in the price of cattle and the consequence was I had to delay in my arrangements in our emmigration to obtain cattle cheaper. I could not get broke cattle at any price. However by the strictest economy in making purchases in trades and sales I have succeeded in getting a tolerable good stock and a number of good cows. There has been an anxious excitement in Pottawatamie Co. St Louis and other places to get to the Valley at the expense of the Perpetual Fund – and I have had numerous calls from every quarter. Some I found necessary to assist who could not wait. to wit Widow Lyons [Sarah Bigler Lyons], Joseph Young, Isaac Decker, &amp; Solon Foster agreeable to the council of Elder Hyde. I received a note from Br. Hyde giving me instructions to organize all the remaining companies with mine as no other Company would start later by his counsel and calling upon J.L. [Joseph Leland] Heywood to assist. I had my cattle herded and kept in a yard in Stringtown. Our waggons began to assemble on the Welch Farm near by- June the 25th 1850 made a start for our Journey. Staid a few days at Bethlehem 1½ mile from the Ferry to obtain Blacksmith Tools &amp;c. July 2nd most of our Teams &amp; Waggons crossed the River at the Lower Ferry. July 4th At the 12 mile Creek we organized our Companies, where Edw[ar]d Hunter was appointed President of the Company[,] J.L. Heywood his Councillor. Rob[er]t Campbell Clerk. Benj[amin] L Clapp &amp; N[athaniel] H[enry] Felt Chaplains. E.D. Wool[l]ey 1st Captain. Lewis Wight, Jon[a]than C Wright. W[illia]m. [Mc]Pherson, Royal Barney, Jesse Haven, George Thompson and Andrew Burnham were made Captains of Tens. and the following is list of Families comprising our Camp Sisters Phiners, [Lydia Goldthwaite] Knight, Bro [Lewis William] Wight, [James A.] McCall, [Merritt] Rockwell, Sisters [Ann] Condit, [Mary Dull] McMinn[,] [Rhoda Ann] Fullmer, A[melia] Campbell, Walker, Sisters [Margaret Hall] Rushton, [Lydia] Knight.

The following is a Summary in round numbers of the strength of our Company[:]

 Loose Catttle in herd – P.F. 27 – X   # I have along with me Merchandize from England consigned to Prest Brigham Young and principally to N K Whitney[.] wt of Freight 4877lbs



 Mess[r]s Heywood and Wooley have made a start with us, with a heavy stock of Church Property. The strength of their teams was insufficient for their heavy burdened waggons and they found the necessity of drawing upon the resources of the Perpetual Fund till they arrive at Fort Kearney where they intend to hire; with that view I have turned them out – 3½ yoke of oxen and 2½ yoke of Cows. Up to the present we have got pretty well started and are getting along prosperously. At first we were visited  with constant and heavy storms attended with thunder and lightning which has made the roads very difficult to travel to say nothing of the sloughs and hollows. Many of our Cattle have suffered from Feet and sore necks but most of them are nearly well. While our Brethren were assembled on the 4th for organizing the Brethren with the mail hailed us with their presence. All well and in good spirits. Our anxiety for news from the Salt Lake City and to obtain Letters broke in upon the good order of our meeting and all were glad enough to adjourn. Br R Campbell from the Valley called over the Letter List after handing out a few letters stopt to get a few refreshments and left for Kanesville.



 July 6th overtaken by Elder O Hyde &amp; suits staid with us an hour and proceeded on. We have passed some 60 graves of the Brethren who have died of the Cholera and by the dates seemed to have died between the 15th of June and the 7th of July. It may be interesting to give some of their names[:] Marg[are]t Dana, Har[ie]t Dill, Ameroy Nicholls [Ambrose Nichols], John Smith, M M Norris, Alford [Alfred] Brown, Marg[are]t McDougal, Dr Brally [Jesse Charles Braley,] Rhoda Smith[,] Jane Gray, Wm. Fox, Calvin C Hall, Charl[o]tte Thompson, J. T. M. Sellan[,] E[mma]. E[liza]. Camp. Elisha Hawrist 32 yr. Geo Catlin, Sis E Malary [Elizabeth Kennedy Mallory] 50. Irinda Crandell [Crandall] 23[,] Mary Johnston 40. several others. We have reason to be thankful that we have been comparatively free from this dire calamity. One of our Company was taken severlly ill, but by strict attention and proper remedies soon recovered.



 July 16th had the painful task of recording the death of an interesting young man by the name of Washington Marshall teamster for Br[other Nathaniel] Felt. An accident occurred wherein Sister Stewart's Boy received an injury by 2 Waggon Hubs bruising him. As many of our Cattle were wild and unbroke I esteem it a marked providence that no other damage is sustained and that the Camp at the present time is in such excellent health and that some who started sick are fast recovering their health. Frequently meeting waggons from the Fort passing back for provisions.



 July 19th Overtaken by Col. Reese in his Chaise. He has 8 waggons back bound for the Salt Lake City. Each waggon 3000 wt of Goods. This morning too Mr. Thompson Clerk of the Firm of Riley left our Camp destined to overtake their goods bound for the same place. Sundays we set apart to rest our Cattle do washing – blacksmithing and have preaching – and camp instruction.



 30 Miles East Ft Kearney [Kearny]- Sunday July 21st 50



As Kincaid [Kinkead] and Livingston are in our immediate vicinity and about to proceed on with dispatch I hasten to bring this communication to a close. Our Camp is in a healthy state – none sick with us. We have travelled about 90 miles this week. Last Sunday we took into consideration the propriety of making 2 Divisions. it answers our purpose. Our Cattle improve on the road. Within 10 miles of us lies our 2nd Division all pretty well. Col. Reece's trains is a few miles back of us. We received the intelligence of a death from Cholera in his company. We design holding a meeting this afternoon and having a preach from Benj[ami]n L[ynn] Clapp. Nothing of any importance has occurred on our journey – Save all is health, peace and that a hope inspires us that we shall improve in the prosecution of our journey and hail our Brethren and friends in the Valley. I expect to make a full report of my mission when I reach you. Considering the high price of Stock and of Provender &amp; Provisions the Brethren generally have as good an outfit as I could anticipate. Wheat Flour $6.00 per 100 corn 2 to $2.50 per bu. Bacon from 6 to 9 cts Hay $1.00 per 100 – Groceries and other provisions equally high. Our waggons are most of them new and many are in good repair[.] We expect to reach Fort Kearney <strike>by</strike> or before the middle of this week. We would be remembered our friends in the Valley. and our prayers are for the prosperity of Zion



We subscribe ourselves ever yours in the everlasting Covenant

The Indians were called the Utes and they didn't seem to be wild because they would come over to our camp and ask us for something to eat. We would tell them to come again and they didn't seem to mind it.
