1805.
This Morning was Cloudy after a slight Snow which fell in
the course of the night the wind blue very hard from N.W.
altho' the
thermometer stood at 18°. above naught the violence
of the wind caused
a degree of could that was much more unpleasent
than that of yesterday when thermometer stood at 10°.
only above
the same point. Mr. Mc.Kinzey left me
this morning.
Charbono returned with one of
the Frenchmen, and
informed me that he had left the three Horses and two
men
with the meat which Capt. Clark had sent at some
distance
below on the river he told me that the horses were heavy
loaded and that not being shod it was impossible for horses to
travel on the ice. I determined to send down some men with
two small
slays for the meat and accordingly I gave orders that
they should set out
early the next morning. two men were
also sent to conduct the horses by
way of the plain.
