The woods, no doubt, was one cause. it's growing dark, so quick then -- for they are very thick, Large & tall -- as they were behind. and without animals. we had the more, to do. and found it almost impossible to keep our animals together -- we traveled along some time in this way. Finally we heard voices in the distance -- but Whether Emigrants or. Indians we did not know -- we were fearful, they might be Indians. and if so, we were not so well prepared to receive them, as unclear we were -- however we will do our best -- so we traveled on. listning all the time to see if we could find out what they were finally we heard them talking and saw they had a fire -- so we hurried along as well as we could, and arrived in their camp. Here we found some 10 or 12 wagons. Emigrants caught in the same way we were, and finding it so dark, here they camped. so we have concluded to stop here too. altho no grass for our animals -- unclear for fear of losing some of them if we keep on -- and -- as 2 of our company are behind. --
