animals until noon, so they didn't reach Springvllle until that night. They were joined there by several other wagons traveling their direction, one of which belonged to Brother Walker. They camped the next night at the springs in Juab Valley where they saw several antelope "skipping and playing" on the side of the mountain. Henry started on Sunday morning at 5:00 a.m. to help Brother Walker h d his horse, "Jack," but didn't get on their way until 10:30 a.m. They reached Salt Creek that night and Henry wrote: "The mosquitoes are very unpleasant customers here. Stayed a short time on Chicken Creek and, after breakfast and baiting our animals, went on to the Sevier and baited again there." Besides having trouble with the horses, Henry suffered with a toothache most of the way home. The provisions were barely adequate, so it helped considerably to be given food and lodging by fnends in many of the settlements.

Life soon got back to normal and on Sunday, April 24, 1853, Henry preached a lengthy discourse to the congregation on the immediate necessity of making articles of iron. The following Sunday, May 1, Erastus Snow, Judge Zerababel Snow, Amasa Lyman, Charles C. Rich and a company of ten men arrived in Cedar Fort. They were sent by Governor Young on a reconnoitering expedition. They brought some merchdise for the settlers, and Henry and J. C. L. Smith spent most of Tuesday and Wednesday selling the goods to the residents for cash. Erastus Snow and Judge Snow spent several days with Henry in counsel on matters mostly pertaining to the Iron Works. A meeting was held on Thursday afternoon, May 12, where Brother
