Mormon History, Friday, May 8, 1846.

[Apostle Willard Richards Journal] Garden Grove. Wind north and cool, sky clear, morning beautiful. The commissary of the first 50 distributed a load of flour and meal, which was very refreshing, as bread stuffs had been scarce in camp for weeks. Trading commissaries were busy in gathering up beds, harnesses, saddles, etc., loading 2 or 3 wagons. Left camp about 9 oÂ'clock in company with Brother WoolseyÂ's relatives on an exchange for cows, etc. [At 4:30] 4 ½ p.m., Brother Andrew Cahoon arrived with Nauvoo mail of 33 letters and reported that O. P. Rockwell had been arrested for shooting Worrell and was in Quincy Jail. President Young was employed through the day in fixing wagons and packing bread for the mountains. The fence around the south lot was completed. The day and evening were clear and delightful, no rain. Peter Haws returned this p.m. [afternoon] from trading in Missouri. Brother Aaron Johnson come up with 3 wagons and passed over the creek.
