procd on Soon passed the mouth of Mine River. Saw a number
of Turkeys but we being anxious to git down do not detain to
hunt, gathered Some pappaws which our party are fond of and
are a kind of fruit which abound in these bottoms and are now
ripe, in the afternoon one of the hunters killed a deer, late in the
evening we arived at the Mouth of Osage River & Camped having
made 84 miles this day.3
