Several men visited a nearby village to gather roots, which the party found acceptable but less satisfying than meat. They slaughtered a wild, unmanageable horse a native had earlier given them for food. Health updates were positive: the sick man was improving, the interpreter's child was recovering quickly, the Indian under their care received another sweat treatment, and the gelded horses were mending. Light rain fell in the afternoon. Three hunters returned with five deer, three men came back from the villages with a supply of roots, and six others set out.

Several of our men went to the villages around us to get roots. These roots are good food, but in general we do not enjoy them as much as meat. We therefore killed another horse today, which one of the natives gave us sometime ago for that purpose. He was so wild and vicious that we could not manage him, or do anything with him.
Our sick man is getting somewhat better, and the interpreter's child is recovering fast. The Indian that we have under our care had another sweat today; and our horses, on which the quieting operation was performed, are all mending. In the afternoon some rain fell, and three of our hunters came in, and brought with them five deer they had killed. Three men also came in from the villages and brought a good quantity of roots. Six others set out.
