February 9, 1846 to October 17, 1848. Initially, Lyman writes daily entries, but illness and travel cause gaps. She was a polygamous wife of Amasa Lyman. She writes of her experiences living in a less-than-ideal polygamous marriage. As her husband was an apostle, numerous people of note stream in and out of her entries. Of special note is a poem from Eliza R. Snow to Lyman on the anniversary of her first son's death. She records her journey from Winter Quarters, Nebraska to the Salt Lake Valley, including delivering another son, Platte D. Lyman, in the back of a wagon.
