[Hosea Stout Diary] Wednesday June 16th 1847. This morning I sent word to the camp that I could not go and did not think it was a fair thing to ask it of me as I had been neglected so long and thus my expidition West was brought to a close[.] I staid town today to enlist more men in the picket guard[.] Sent out four men on guard
Heard much said about the requisition of the camp for me to go which made considerable excitement but mostly in my favor.
