Early that morning the band came and played l'or the benefit of President Young and brethren. In the afternoon, they having received an invitation from the people of Farmi hgton to play, went after obtaining the mind of the T President, where John Kay, our favorite song. &ter, sang one of his bestr "The sea, the sea." They were treated. with the greatest respect "and kindness, and given an excellent supper at the Gait House, and afterwards escorted a mile towards the camp. My husband and brother William accompanied the band, and according to the former record , they "returned Uo camp about 9 p.m. This day Bishop Miller left camp and went ahead to seek a new place. Brother Kimball's family and our own all continue1 well, hearty and in good spirits." The following little incident "occurred in the early part of our iournev. Two or mnrp nf father's young wives were walking behind the wagons when night overtook them and the wagons being out of sight, and, not daring tc proceed alone, they stopped at a farm house where they were kept all night and treated to . the best the house afforded. The nicest room had to their belonging they only son was given them to sleep in, and after breakfast he escorted them to the camD. which thmicrh hnt a little distance off was hidden under a high hill to the left of the road. Father had cautioned his wives and folks about lingering be hind,and this had a tendency to make them remember it. My husband wrote, "Thursday, 5th, struck our tents about ten a.m. had not proceeded, more than ten or fifteen rods when the ailetree of one of father's wagons was broken, inconse. quence had to leave it behind and put the load on our other wagons. I went two miles ahead on horseback to a little place called lnapjirte at this place we crossed the Des Moines; River and camped after going a short distance, having made only three miles this day.'
