Transcript for David Candland report, in Brigham Young office emigrating companies reports, 1850-1862, Reports, 1850-1852
I am instructed by Capt. [James] McGaw to embody in this report, a brief Synopsis of the course pursued by Elder Crandall Dunn (Captain of the 3rd Ten)[.] In consequence of his company not be filled I was instructed to place W Milam in said Ten. I did and reported such to C. Dunn on Sunday last which he acknowledged at the time. Yesterday at the river he disclaimed Bro. W[illiam] Milam and sought to crowd in 2 wagons which Capt. McGaw had refilled and in as much as C. Dunn never reported them and they were refused[.] an objection was again raised by the Capt. to their crossing in the fifty. Dunn there go his [..ams] over and has left the organization and started West independent of all the authorities and rules of the Camp of Israel. This however, is but the fulfilnes of a refractory spirit manifested by some of the family while in camp and the result of disappointed ambition.
