FRIDAY, July 20th, 1855.

Fine morning - quite warm - our hunters left the boat early, came in to breakfast with an elk - All of them had been on one side this morning We crossed two with three (3) horses on the opposite side - Bluffs nearly the same here as below - White stone (sand with an occasional vein of lignite - and wide? brick stone - Water is getting clearer - Squaws went on shore and brought on board quantity of round balls like marbles - also some yellow crossed out - goosebe currants

I left the boat after dinner with my friend Mr. Wilson, after walking 2 miles I saw a Bull back on the prairie - killed him, went out for it from boat + found the hunters had dressed it - hot - saw a beaver? hill -
