[William Clayton Journal] ...This morning 15 of the brethren commenced building a dam a little above the camp, so as to bring the water around and inside the Camp. They finished early in the afternoon, and we have now a pleasant little stream of cold water running on each side the wagons all around the camp . . . In the evening many of the brethren went and were baptized on the dam by Elder Kimball for remission of sins. Elders Pratt, Woodruff, and Smith attending to confirmation. I went and was baptised amongst the rest. It has been recommended for all the camp to be baptized and this evening they have commenced it.
