anticipate addition Of twelve thousand 10 their

The most OF these expected be around Cape

Diego Great Salt Lake is chain OF Mormon settlements,
which renders that less tedious than the Missouri
Whether the anticpatons Of 30 large emigration viii be
realized Is very questionable. Ii is singular fact,
