Tuesday Augt 12 We Rode up to the Gulch to day to see our Chicago friends and found them also prepared for the Change. We Walked thru the Village and Saw Card playing Mining fighting horse racing donkey and plenty of Drunkards [?] and other Merchants at work Idlers all over the place and [?] filled with all manner of Men can it be possible that [?] and then Such places on Earth I doubt I felt alarmed for the first time in My life in going thro the place. I bid fare Well to the Gulch I never want to See it any More
