Saturday 27
Clear fine weather.
Sent off Mr Dease's men with dispatches to Nezperces to be for-forwarded to the sea.
A young Indian was engaged to carry the dispatches to Mr Ogden in the Snake country he is to have a horse for his trip, and promises to make the most expeditious he can. Nothing material has occurred since I have been absent. Trade in furs still slack but a little doing in provisions.
Sunday 28
Weather as yesterday.
Sent off the Indian with the express to Mr. Ogden he expects to reach him in about 8 to 10 days.
We are living now entirely on dry provisions as nothing fresh is to be got, not a salmon to be caught in the river.
Monday 29th
Clear fine pleasant weather.
