Yesterday’s answer:

B   That he would carry only LDS passengers

Sunday, June 29, 1856 aboard the Horizon anchored in Massachusetts Bay, Martin Handcart Company, John Jaques Journal:   On the 29^th, the passengers passed the doctor. A meeting was held on deck, and in the response to three cheers, for the captain, he complimented the passengers on their good behavior and said that company was the best he had ever brought across the sea. He further said that since the passengers sang, “We’ll marry none but Mormons,” he would “carry none but Mormons.”
