[Diary of Apostle John Henry Smith] Kanab
Conference at 10 a.m. Bros. Daniel Seegmiller, Erastus B. Snow, Francis M. Lyman Sr. and I were the speakers.
The Directors met in the evening of the Kanab Coop. herd. We agreed to pay Lorenzo Y. Brown a claim he held against the old Company as a matter of a gift. Our stock seems to be doing well. (2)

William Clayton, on a ship carrying two hundred Mormons from England to America writes: "Good sail. At night Elder Turley spoke considerable on cleanliness and afterwards went round the births to see if all the company undressed. Some was found with their cloths on and some had never pulled their cloths off since they came on deck but had done their dirt in their cloths. Others had dirt in the corner of their birth. This made the most awful smell when discovered almost to much to bear. Elder Turley undressed and washed them and ordered the place cleaned out. [Some of the company] are filthy indeed." (3)
