Transcript for Higginson, W. T., to E. L. Davies, 11 Dec. 1911, Hatch, Idaho

I returned to the tent and told Brother Muir what the Captain said to me. Well, he said, go and see an old friend of mine. We both went and took dinner with the friend, and on returning to the tent I saw two men and there was a covered wagon in the yard. I jumped the fence and asked them if they were going to Utah. Yes, they said. Are you the only two that is going in the wagon. Yes, they said. The[n], can I go along with you if I give you $40.00, $20.00 down and the balance when we get to Utah? Yes, that is all right. I got the $20.00 from Brother Muir and we all landed in Salt Lake City on the 23rd of June 1858.
