th~s volunteer school was superseded by regularly scheduled classes." Smith wrote: "March 19, 1851: The wind blew very hard from the south leaving no tents standing in camp. March 20: Went with Frost and Bringhurst to visit the coal vein [Cedar Canyon]. Put into the rock a blast and found that the vein increased from one inch to six inches. March 21: Brother Barnard presented me with a child, a Paiute girl, about four years old. He purchased her from Walker for an ox." The Indians were very 6iendly even to committing themselves to being baptized into the church. Chief Walker said, "I must tell all the Paiutes far and near that they must be honest and not steal anything from the settlers." Apostles Parley P. Pratt and Charles C. Rich arrived at Fort Louisa on April 10, 1851, and brought mail. Henry was delighted to get a letter from England from Martha Bristol which follows:
I thank you kindly for the Frontier Guardian which I receive regularly. I intend to have a ring made from the gold you were so kind as to send me. I assure you it is quite a curiosity, at least in this part of the globe. The Salt Lake City must indeed be a rich and beautihl vale. My sister Ann [married to John, Henry's brother in England] sends me the Millennia1 Stars as they come out. I take great delight in reading them and perhaps sometimes espy your name in them, which would indeed be a great joy to me. [The following poem was included with the letter] And can you then, adventurous youth, Your native land forsake; And leave your friends, and kindred all, To cross the raging lake. Bound on a sail of awful length, And dangers little known, a strangy to each one you meet Far, far away from home. For thee I've panted, thee I prize, For thee I'd gladly sacrifice Whate'er I see thee start away And helpless, hopeless hear thee say, 'Farewell! We meet no more.'
