[Apostle Willard Richards Journal] Locust Creek Encampment, Middle Fork. Morning cold and cloudy, wind northwest, severe frost and ground froze some. About 10 a.m., President Young in company with G. D. Grant [Young], A. P. R. [Young], J. Holman [Young], and William Weeks [Young] walked back to J. D. Lee [Young], a distance of 3 miles, to Elder H. C. Kimball's encampment where he arrived this day, and went on to the encampment on the middle fork of Locust Creek after 3 of his cows that had strayed. The object of President Young's visit to Elder Kimball's encampment was to learn the situation of the camp and to call a general council to meet at Elder Kimball's tent the next morning at 10 o'clock a.m. Returned back to camp about 5 p.m.
Several cases of measles were reported this week in company number 6, and several cases of fever in the fifth company, which has been attended by Samuel S. Sprague, physician. William M. Lemon was baptized at Nauvoo by Elder George Myers about 4 p.m. and confirmed under the hands of Orson Hyde, Joseph L. Heywood, and George Myers.
