[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 3d We packed our trunks during the day And in the evening A company of Soldiers Arived from the valley & brought A mail from the city of the great Salt Lake.
We got one letter from Sister Smoot And one directed to Robert Petty. We got A letter from the High Council to the Presidency here which was good. We met & herd it read. It seems from the letters that they have sowed 800 acres of wheat & inclosed 5,000 acres of land under fence made of poles.
