Tuesday 5th. We proceeded on to some Indian camps [1] and there we killed three deer. The next day we went on to more Indian camps [2] and killed some deer. On the 7th we encamped in a bottom on the south side of the Missouri, [3] and the next day turned out to hunt. We killed 10 elk and 18 deer, and remained there all night. On the 9th we built a pen, [4] to secure our meat from the wolves, which are very numerous here; and in the evening went further down and encamped. [5] The next morning we set out on our return towards the fort; and killed some elk and deer in our way. On the 12th we arrived at the fort; and found that one of our interpreter's wives had in our absence made an addition to our number. [6] On the 13th we had three horses shod to bring home our meat.
