We met in Council with the Twelve. Decided to winter near this place say from 20 to 40 miles. A messenger had Just arived from the Mormon Battalion within 30 miles of Fort Leavenworth And gave a good report of the Brethren. All well and in good spirits. They were doing honor to the cause.

Phebe W. Woodruff
