Dear President Young

The company of which I have the charge will camp west of the little mountain on Sunday probably all day as we purpose getting over the little mountain this evening and intends to rest on sunday and will reach the city on monday forenoon, should you deem it necessary to send any one to import Council to the company we will be right glad to receive them, the health of the company is good[.] the spirit of union and peace reigns among us[.] we have had one death on the journey a Swiss Brother who unwisely eat the flesh of an Ox that died of Alkali and was posioned [poisoned.]

Yours Obedien[t]ly

J.D. Ross
