[Apostle Willard Richards Journal] Missouri River, E. B. [eastern bank]. At 9, Presidents Young, Richards [and] Kimball borrowed horses [and] went across the river. Home about 10. [At] 1 ½ [1:30] p.m., public meeting. Present: Young, Kimball, Hyde. President Young spoke at some length to have a company start over the mountains (110 wagons were ready on the west side of river), to have hands go and repair the river road, tend the ferry, and have the herdsmen keep the cattle out of the IndianÂ's corn. About sunset, Young, Kimball, and Richards started in the PresidentÂ's carriage and arrived at Elder Taylor's and Woodruff's tents on the bluff near Mosquito Creek at little before 11 p.m., where exertions had been made to raise 20 or 30 more volunteers to complete the 500 for Colonel Allen. Levi Savage ordained an elder by E. T. Benson.
