Salt Lake City.
Dear Brother,
Your favor of June 28th, received. I have not a handcart or any other relic. Our company was the one that was snowed in in the mountains, and had to shovel snow three or four feet deep for camp grounds. All our hand carts and utensils were left on the mountain and we walked in shoeless and almost without other clothes.
I suppose I will have to give up the idea of being numbered in the procession of veterans.
Thanking you for your kindness replying so promptly to my communication, I remain your well wishing
Sister in the Gospel
Mrs. Eliza Staker
