[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 19th I was quite unwell to day. Rumours have reached us that the Indians had commenced slaughtering the inhabitants of Oregon, Also that the Queen of England had abdicated her throne & had shiped for Canida for Protection. Our streets are thronged with waggons on their way for the Horn.
I gave A power of Attorney to Z Pulsipher, John Benbow And A. O. Smoot to transact business for me in the valley. I assisted John Benbow to pack his waggon. He had a full load. /The Above report concerning the Queen proved to be incorrect./
