3rd.  Tuesday.  Sent off to Okanogan four men of that place, who assisted up our boats.  Forwarded by them six horses requested by Mr. Black.  Eight men reaping pease, the rest packing up goods for the Kootenai and Flat Head summer trade.

Warm weather.  Indians still flocking in with whom we are busy trading.

4th.  Wednesday.  Mr. Kittson with six men, two of them he leaves at the Pendent Orielle Bay to repair canoes, and with the rest he proceeds full equipped to make the Kootinai summer trade.  The people who came for Mr. Works horses also set off for Walla Wala,  I would have dispatched them before but detained them in hopes of obtaining some cord, appichnons etc. which are required for the Snake expedition.  All our remaining men hard at work reaping oats.  Fine weather. Wind W.  Killed two small pigs weighed together 35 lbs.

5th.  Thursday.  Fine weather.  Wind W.  All hands employed reaping oats.  Crowded with Indians, with whom we are occupied trading all day.

6th.  Friday.  Wind and weather as yesterday.  The men still employed cutting oats, which they finished in the evening.  Several parties of Indians arrived in course of the day with trifles to trade.

7th.  Saturday.  Clear warm weather.  Wind SW.  The men busy reaping pease, and ourselves trading with Indians.

8th.  Sunday.  Wind and weather as yesterday.  This day we rested from our labours, and much need have we of repose after the excessive toils of the week.

9th.  Monday.  Sultry weather with some gusts of southerly wind:  Sent off six men with the outfit for the Flat Head summer trade to join Mr. Kittson at Pendent Orielle Lake on his return from performing the Kootanais trade.

All hands occupied reaping pease, and the trade with the numerous Indians on the ground continued as brisk as during the last week.

10th.  Tuesday.  Warm, clear weather.  Wind NW.  The men employed stacking oats.  Some Indians begin to move off but we have still occupation enough with those that remain, in trading their trash of camass and berries etc.

11th.  Wednesday.  Oppressively warm weather with out a breath of wind.  The men occupied stacking pease.  The Indians as we finish trading we succeed in getting off, though they would prefer as accustomed to do to remain for some time on the ground for amusement, but the evil consequences of this was proved in the affray of last summer, and we would endeavor as far as in us lies to avoid a similar occurrence in future; besides it is of material advantage to get them off this early to their hunting grounds where they will always do more than they can do if loitering away their time here.

12th.  Thursday.  Weather much the same as yesterday.  Our people began reaping our wheat, which is the best that we grew here, and as good, excepting what was damaged by the floods, as any I ever saw.  Indians continue moving off.  Salmon never taken in such quantities as at present at the Falls.

13th.  Friday.  Weather continues very warm and nearly calm.  The men cutting wheat.

All the Spokanes of the lower falls arrived with Salmon and camass to trade.  Other Indians going off. 

14th.  Saturday.  Most of all the large bands of Indians have now cleared away; all in good humour, and determined, as they say, to make better hunts this year than ever done before.  The men, cutting wheat, at which occupation they will continue until the whole is reaped.  The weather rather increases in warmth - wind, what little there is, is southerly.  A child of LaCourse died.

15th.  Sunday.  Wind and weather as yesterday.

16th.  Monday.  Weather very sultry - wind W.  Killed a small pig weight 8 lb.

17the Tuesday.  The weather and the wind as above.

18th.  Wednesday.  Weather very warm.  Got the Lake Indians who have as usual passed most of the summer at the Falls, to get out to their lands so as to commence their beaver hunts at an earlier period than they were accustomed to do, having usually remained here doing nothing till late in the season.

19th.  Thursday.  Weather rather more temperate than for some time past.  Wind west.  One man salting salmon, which are uncommonly abundant this season  One making a cart for bringing in our grain, and all the rest of the men still occupied reaping wheat.

20th.  Friday.  Weather overcast, but still warm.  Two men and two Indians arrived from Mr. Kittson with the Kootinais summer trade, on twenty one horses.  The following is the list thereof, by which it will appear there is a great falling off on that trade in furs, but this we had reason to expect from the extraordinary floods of this summer and the present unstable habits of those Indians.

21st Saturday. Fine warm weather.  Wind W.  Our people continue at shearing wheat.  Indians of various tribes come in daily with trifles to trade.  particularly dried salmon and camass.  Some Lake Indians about he falls moved off to their lands.

24th.  Tuesday.  As yesterday.

25th.  Wednesday.  Warm cloudy weather.  Wind NW.  For want of a sufficient number of hands our wheat is getting too ripe, as to shake off with the least breese of wind..  Indians on the move as usual.

26th.  Thursday.  Wind and weather as yesterday.  This day our men finished reaping the last of our crops.  Late in the evening Mr. Kittson returned from making the Flat Head trade, which he reports to be as good in beaver as last year, and much larger in provisions.  He left the men with the boats, fifty one in number, to come on at their leisure.

Journal continued by Wm Kittson

27th. Friday.  Fair weather.  The men have been busy at putting up the wheat into sheaves and carting it home, for making it into stacks in the farm yard, erected next to the cow house

Indians still continue bringing fresh and dried salmon to trade.  An account taken of the Kootinais remains of goods, and the returns put bye.

28th.  Saturday.  From the rainy state of the weather very little has been done towards the gathering and carting home of the wheat.  About nine this morning the Flat Head party arrived, the things were all in good order.  Traded a few skins, roots and dried salmon.

29th.  Sunday.  Cloudy weather, and a little rain falls.  The Indians, according to custom, do not come to see us, but keep at their camp, and pay due respect to the day.

30th.  Monday.  The weather fair.  Men and women with the exception of four men, keep at gathering and carting home the wheat.  Two large stacks made of it, one of 1500 and the other 1700 sheaves.  Four men were employed at assorting the meat brought from the Flat Heads, so far the proportions of fat much the same as the lean.  Traded a few beaver skins from Pendent Orielle Indians.

31st.  Tuesday.  Cloudy weather, a little rain in the afternoon.  the same occupation for the men and women as yesterday.  Finished assorting the meat, and the Flat Head returns stand thus

The above trade is better than that of last year, not including Mr. Pilcher's furs, as that Gentleman brought them down here at his own risk, and here they were understood to be included in the Colvile returns.

A blank sheet was received from Walla Wala, including a bill for Rivet; therefore the news of that place, are kept to themselves.
