[Apostle Willard Richards Journal] Winter Quarters. Wind northwest, cold, clear. About noon, President Young called at post office and wrote an order on Thomas F. Thurston for $300 money, and on Samuel Russell, on J. D. Lee for $200, of the drafts of the Battalion to be paid to Lorenzo Young. [At] 4 p.m., Dr. Richards called on Brother Grover to borrow some meal to send to the rush bottoms, and on Elder Kimball at 1. Found him asleep. At 3, found he was out. At 4 ½ [4:30], found he would carry the meal and prevent his sending his team. At 5, called on Elder Woodruff. At 7, went with him to post office. Found Bishop A. O. Smoot. Went with him to his house, ate, and drank a New YearÂ's treat. At 8 ½ [8:30], returned home, found Brother Truman Angel. Calculated size of a desk and pigeon holes for post office, etc.
