Abstract	This is a three-page typescript from the Margaret Steed Hess collection, written by Adolf Reeder in 1956. The print is fading, though still legible. Adolf provides various descriptions throughout, though few that are personal or individual for Eliza. Adolf writes that after the family arrived in Salt Lake, one of the young girls, Mary, nearly had to have her legs amputated because they had frozen.
