[William Clayton Journal] ...About 8 o'clock the camp were called together and measures taken to raise more team to put to the Cannon, as some of the horses and even cattle have gave out. The president chastised E[rastus] Snow for not attending to the cows yesterday causing the president to lose his spyglass, it being Brother Snow's turn to drive the cows according to his own voluntary agreement. At a little before 11 o'clock Porter Rockwell, Thomas Brown and Joseph Mathews started back to hunt the spy glass . . .
About 4 Porter and the others returned having found the spy glass, which was a source of joy to all the brethren.
