one two or three days in advance of us A. O. Smoot, Heywood
& Woolley & HEdward Hunter are from 1 to 4 days in the Rear However
Elder Stratton will give an account of them.

At the commencement of our Journey Journey we Had some
sickness in our company as was the case with all the company
Herd from their was 7 deaths in our company 3 children, 2 woman
2 women & 2 Men, one of which was Samuel Smith. Our encamp-
ments are in the enjoyments of good Health, & spirits at
present. I Believe Brothers Stratton & Hanks have laboured
faithfully to accomplish the object of their mission
which will prove a benefit to the camps in general
We feel that we are remembered before the Lord by our
Brethren in the valley And that the Blessings of our
Heavenly Father may continually rest upon you & all
the faithful in Zion & the Travelling camp of Israel
is our daily prayer

Yours in the Gospel of Christ
