[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 26th Sunday Brs Johnson & Little reached the fort this morning with 2 other Brethren & brought into our camp 10 Horses which they had drove on west to meet us with. We were truly glad to see them & their Horses to as they would be some help to us as the Indians had taken so many of our horses that we had as much as we could do to get along & our horses are growing poor daily.
Brs Young & Kimball & others dined with Como-dore Stockton at the fort. I spent the fore part of the day washing my Clothes. Rubed the skin of my fingers into the flesh. We Harnessed up at 3 oclok & drove 3 miles & camped on the platt. Many in Camp are out of both bread & meat. I have divided my bread & meat untill I am nearly out myself. 3 m.
