It is Sunday. Fortunately, they are able to rest themselves and their animals this day. One of the pioneers, Ellis Eames, chose to depart from the company and go back to Winter Quarters which he said because of ... "poor health, spitting blood, etc."... William Clayton wrote.
Some of the men though thought he was of little faith and was giving up. Even so, they figured as long as he was going back to Winter Quarters, they could take the opportunity to write letters to their families so Ellis could take them back.
