[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 13th I arose quite unwell this morning. Sore throat, mouth, lips &c. Several Brethren went to meet President Young. The Camp lay still waiting for him to Come up. Br Kimball came to camp at noon And A Council was called of the whole Camp & Resolved that O Pratt take A company of about 20 waggons & 40 men & go on to the canion make the rode as they go & if they Could not [get?] through the Canion to find Smiths Cut off & make a road over the mountain that we need not be hindred when we come along. There was 23 waggons in all & started At 1 oclok.
The Hunters brought in 12 Antelope /yesterday/ & to day 10. We have found but little game for many days untill yesterday & to day.
President Young is better to day but will not move untill to morrow. In the Afternoon Elder Richards & myself walked out to search for springs or water & talked over old times my mishion to Fox Islands And his labours in Preston & our mishions in England together.
