[William Clayton Journal] Again sent the men hunting cattle. The day was very cold and windy, almost as cold as winter. I spent the day fixing a wagon for Diantha expecting her on in about 2 weeks. Lucy Walker called in this afternoon and expressed sorrow on account of the treatment of Hebers family toward her. Amos Fielding called on his way to the President's Camp. Towards evening it rained and there was one of the most beautiful rainbows I ever saw in my life. We could see its brilliant reflections within a few rods of us. In the evening [Sylvester] D[u]zett came for his cow which had tarried with ours. He concluded to stay over night. My teamsters returned without finding the cattle.
