A clear cold morning with high wind: we caught in a trap a large gray wolf, and last night obtained in the same way a fox who had for some time infested the neighbourhood of the fort.

The musquetos continue to infest us in such manner that we can scarcely exist. My dog even howls with the torture he experiences.

The day cold and fair with a high easterly wind: we were visited by two Indians who gave us an account of the country and people near the Rocky mountains where they had been.

As I have always held it a crime to anticipate evils, I will believe it a good comfortable road until I am compelled to believe differently.

Great numbers of the Indians pass our camp on their hunting excursions: the day was clear and pleasant, but last night was very cold and there was a white frost.

A woman brought her child with an abscess in the lower part of the back, and offered as much corn as she could carry for some medicine; we administered to it of course very cheerfully.

Caught one a live by poreing a great quantity of Water in his hole.
