1848- May 21

We haven't let the death of Jacoby get in the way of what we started. We weren't going to let Jacoby be the end of what we have worked so hard for. I have decided to take lead- once again. And because no one else had any better ideas they went along with it. For now, we are just traveling as southwest as we can to get out of Mexican Territory. After that, I am not sure what we are going to do. God, if you can hear me now, give me a sign or help me lead these men. They have put their lives in my hands and I cannot let their families down. Amen. I have decided not to speak to Father for a while so that I can give him some time to relapse from the incident with Jacoby. However I am not going to let my father's grief slow me down from what I want. Somehow, I am going to lead these men to California and do what I came all this way to do; make a better life for Mother, Amelia, and Chelsea.
