Thursday 13th.. June 1805.
a beautiful pleasant morning. we Set out at an eairly hour
& proceeded on. passed the Mouth of a Small River on the
South Side about 50 yards wide & rapid current & of a
muddy coulour. I went over the River to See it. large bottoms
of cotton timber for Some distance up. we named it
Snowey River, as we expect it comes from the Snowey Mountain,
to the South of us. passed verry high bluffs on each Side
Some Small bottoms of cotton timber we Saw abundance of
wild or choke cherries & a kind of yallow current, Such as I
never Saw before. the Goose berrys are now ripe & abound
in the River bottoms. we came 14 miles to day & Camped
on the South Side. I was taken verry Sick to day, & a violent
head ack. 2 deer & [word illegible] buffalow killed to day.
