[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 2d Two rafts have been runing through the day & most of the waggons have been brought over. We swam our Horses & cattle over this morning though with some difficulty. We held A council in the Afternoon with the Twelve & 4 men was Appointed to return & meet the camp & pilote them up. Br Brannan was with the council. We each one wrote our views Concerning the council to be given to the Camp.
It is an exeeding hot day, And both man & beast are much annoyed with musketoes. Several salmon trout were Caught at the mouth of a slue on green river near the ferry one weighing 7 1/4 lbs.
Several of the brethren gatherd A quantity of Salaratus from the Salaratus bedes about 3 miles east of the indipendance rock near the road & thought it answered as good A purpose As the manufactured article for raising bread & family purposes.
