[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 20 I rode to Montrose to get my goods. I had to pay $60 on the flouting patent mill & $10 freightage. Total $70. I returned to the camp & spent the night. 10 m.
{21} I spent the day in camp. We had a rainy night & many things wet.
{22d} We spent the day in going to Montrose And Nauvoo. I spent several hours in Nauvoo. Had An interview with Mrs Woodruff & other friends.
I Left Nauvoo for the last time perhaps in this life. I looked upon the Temple & City of Nauvoo as I retired from it & felt to ask the Lord to preserve it As A monument of the sacrifice of his Saints. I returned to the camp & spent the night. 10 mi.
