[Hosea Stout Diary] Friday Feb 6th 1846. Met the guard as usual and regulated it for the day and then went with J. D. Hunter up in the Temple to see Prest B. Young to learn what to do next.He gave us orders to notify all the Capt of the Emegration Companies to cause their extra teams to meet at the Masonic Hall in the morning where he could dictate the lading thereof and also ordered me to collect all the extra men in the different companies & organize them into a body of troops ready to March (on foot) whenever they were needed.I was engaged in executing the above orders untill one oclock and then went with John Scott to see Br B. Willis about his daughter who Scott was engaged to and Willis was opposed to the matchwe then went to my house & took dinner and then went to the Temple and was there at three and met the guard as usual and also had quite a large number of men besides assembled who were ready to be organized as aboveAfter giving them the necessary instructions I came home and prepared to
move untill bed time.
