To the inquiries made on the subject, by the Government, the following letters refer. "Moreton Bay, Zion's Hill, 14th January 1843.
When their captors demanded of them the songs of Zion, they answered despairingly, "How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?"

Here they began to build a city which they called Far West, and after a time they had a county laid off which was named Caldwell. This movement began in September, 1836, and by the next summer nearly all the Saints had left Clay county. You will call to mind that the Prophet Joseph, with the brethren in Zion's Camp had visited the Saints while in Clay county.
