Camp No. 73, Utah Territory
September 18, 1864

Thirty miles southwest of Salt Lake City. It has been four weeks yesterday since I have been able to send out a letter. Once of my assistants left the party at Salt Lake City and I have had rather more hard work to do on this trip but have good health.
