Mormon History, May 14, 1847. Friday.

[William Clayton Journal] ...I discovered that Brother Appleton Harmon is trying to have it understood that he invented the machinery to tell the distance we travel which makes me think less of him than I formerly did. He is not the inventor of it by a long way but he has made the machinery after being told how to do it. What little souls work.
