[Wilford Woodruff]
Some indians called upon President Young. The Chief of the Bannocks was among them. Brother Hamlin was here with the Chief of the D[esert?] Pi[edes?] Totsigauah [Tutsegabits]. He was ordained an Elder. He called to see me & my garden. I gave him some peaches & peach pitts to take home & plant.
Presidet Young said He w[anted/ished?] the Elders to marry the squaws of the Tribes to fulfill the commandment of God &c.
