This morning the Camp was called together and addressed by Elder Kimball. Heber C. Kimball calls the pioneer camp together to report that Brigham Young is "a very sick man." He proposes that the men should "meet together and pray and exhort each other, that the Lord may turn away sickness from our midst and from our president that we may proceed on our journey." During the meeting, Kimball proposes "that all the camp, except President Young's and 8 or 10 other wagons with brethren enough to take care of him proceed on tomorrow and go through, find a good place, begin to plant potatoes &c as we have little time to spare." The proposition is unanimously accepted.
