[Wilford Woodruff]
It is rumoured to day that Col Johnson has 100 deserters in Irons in his Camp and he had one man whiped 120 lashes on the bare back who swore he would kill the man who sentenced him to be whiped as soon as he got a Chance. ...
I had two dreams last night. I dreamed of having a terrible + battle with a rattle snake. He tried to bite me all over but did not seem to hurt me. After I awoke I again fell * asleep and dreamed that I had an orchard of several acres of Apple trees and I thought the ground was Covered with vary large red ripe Apples. I thought there were hundreds of Bushels so ripe that they must be used up in order to save them. I was making preperations to make them into Cider when I awoke.
