[Apostle Willard Richards Journal] [Winter Quarters.] Snow on the ground, east wind, thawed in afternoon. About noon, President Young, Benson, and others rode south about six miles to meet Major Miller and select the site for a house to be built for the Omahas. Major Miller did not arrive and the brethren selected a location near the bank of the river and returned near sunset.
Between 11 and 12, the Dr. [Richards] walked over the river on ice. Returned about 1, visited Brother Neff who is sick. Brother Asahel Lathrop arrived from the rush bottoms. Dr. commenced his office about 4 p.m. Susannah Liptrot arrived in camp about 5. Sarah Butterworth was buried about 6. E. T. Benson and Cornelius P. Lott called about 7, Brothers Sidney A. Hanks and Granger Brown at about 8. Dr. went to the office, asked Bishop Whitney for a packing box, which the bishop gave to him without asking a question.
