... Then some remarks [ware] made By President Young concerning the Hand Cart Company who was now entering the City. He wished the inhabitants to take the people in to their houses & nurse them up. He said He would take all that was left.
... We then went into the street & saw the poor saints who had Just arived. Their was about 100 waggons containing the Company. Many were Cripples. Had their hands & feet froze nearly off. They were immediately distributed through the City.
