[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 20th Camped at night on A trout creek about 10 feet across. We found 3 waggons that had stoped on this creek in consequence [of] the sick. Brs. Sherwood Johnson & Dewey were so sick they could not Journey & we camped on the same ground with them. Sherwood & Johnson were Baptized for their sickness & I confirmed [them?].
Br Young stood the Journey well Considering the hard road but was quite weary come night. Several of the Brethren caught [some?] small trout in the streams we camped on. Br Fowler dish [ditched?] his waggon wheels & G. A. Smith who was in the company [dished?] two of his. Stoped & burned coal & set the tyre. This meant Pratt & Company was ownly 8 miles ahead of whare we camped.
