[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 8th I spent a part of the day making wine. I Attended 2 Councils with the Twelve. I herd A letter read from John Taylor from New York containing an account of his travels, labours &c the downfall of Rigdonism Strangism &c. Among other things He sent us A paper containing a letter from A person on board of the Brooklin. They had good luck in doubling Cape Horn And on the 1st of May was on the Island of Juanfernandez on there way to Calafornia.
A Babit returned home to day.
In the Afternoon in company with O Pratt I went through the encampment And looked [up] several men who had been called and chosen to the office of Bishop. We ordained three to the office of Bishop.
