[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 18th The soldiers have a meeting to day at the Log tabernacle. Br Young, Kimball, & O Pratt was expected to be there. O Pratt was there but the others were at Br Hydes As He had Just returned from the east.
We also recieved A large mail to day from various parts of the earth several stars from Liverpool showing the rapid progress of our cause through England Scotland and Wales And of the hard warfare of our worthy friend Capt Dan Jones. It seems as though nearly all wales was against him yet he is baptizing daily as he is travling through the nation. We also got news of the Mexican war, American Congress, the loss of life on the lakes & rivers &c.
