2nd. Wednesday.  The duties of the place as above and will continue so during the week.  Two Indians who accompanied our boats to Okanogan, returned this evening with 1 bag balls, 100 gun flints and 15 lbs tobacco, requested from there; and bring the pleasing news of all being well with our Brigade so far.  But owing to the non-arrival of the New Caledonia people a delay has occurred, which is to be regretted as we had much to do here for our men.  A few Pendent Orielles have arrived and brought furs with them to trade.

June 8th  Tuesday.  The weather as warm as yesterday.  Duties of the place likewise the same as they will continue so for a time it will be superfluous to use daily repetitions.  As Indians are constantly straggling about the place, and others now occasionally to ascertain whether the salmon fishing has commenced at the falls, or on purpose to trade trifles it will be equally needless to notice them, particularly in their ordinary movements to and fro.

My reputation for sanctity is so great amongst the natives, who are now so religiously disposed, that beaver skins are frequently sent into me to pray for them and for which they will on no condition take payment.  Nay it is not only this length they carry things, for not long since an Indian on coming into my presence fell at once into a trance and on his recovery from which, in reply to our enquiries as to the cause, he said that he was suddenly struck with a remorse of conscience for his crime at seeing me, because he thought I might like the Great Master of life, have the power of seeing into his heart.

18th.  Friday The river fell about an inch during the last twenty four hours.  In consequence of the great height of the waters, the salmon fishing has been so far unsuccessful, which caused famine among the Indians, who have collected about the Falls.  We ourselves also suffer from the same cause, having sent our remaining stock of provisions off with the boats, for the use of other places.  Cloudy weather wind W.
