11th. of March Monday
1805
A Cloudy Cold windey day, Some Snow in the latter part
of
the day, we deturmin to have two other Perogus made for
to transport our
Provisions &c.
We have every reason to believe that our Menetarre interpeter
(whome we intended to take with his wife, as an interpeter
through his wife to the Snake Indians
of which nation
She is) has been Corrupted by the [blank in MS] Company
&c. Some explenation has taken place which Clearly proves
to us
the fact, we give him to night to reflect and deturmin
whether or not he
intends to go with us under the regulations
Stated.
