Samuel Brannan meets Brigham Young and the first pioneer company at the Green River in present-day Wyoming and updates the Church leaders about the Saints who traveled to California on the ship Brooklyn the previous year. In an unsuccessful effort to convince Brigham and the others to locate Church headquarters in California, Brannan extols the virtues of the West Coast and relates all that the Saints living there had accomplished.
