[Apostle Willard Richards Journal] Garden Grove. Very pleasant. Presidents Young and Kimball engaged in fitting up wagons, and from 10 to 12 a.m. at William ClaytonÂ's with Dr. Richards, helping him to some cordage, shovel, spade, saw, etc., etc. Amasa Lyman and George A. Smith come up with their companies and passed on with P. P. Pratt, O. Pratt and Father Smith, who went over the creek west and encamped on the prairie. Pioneers daily arriving from Missouri to go on. Report arrived from Nauvoo that O. P. Rockwell had made his escape. Andrew Cahoon returned to Nauvoo this morning with a mail of 12 letters. Dr. Richards weighed 1 wagonload of goods. Sunset very red and the moon rose the same. Brethren building houses.
