 258 Leslie M. Scott Umquah to meet me with what few beaver they may have to trade. Hunters out, but no success, except Kanota 2 deer. June 13. Overcast & chilly. F. Champaign's child continued so ill that it was not expected to live out the day, in consequence of which we did not raise camp. Hunters out, 2 deer killed. We got enough to serve the people so that they require to touch but little of their voyage provisions. June 14. Cloudy & fine. Proceeded 20 miles S. E. & S. to the second fork of the Umquah through a hilly country with intervening valleys of rich soil richly clothed with verdure. Found some Indians where we encamped, and about 20 men visited us in the evening. Two of the men crossed the mountains to the E. accompanied by an Indian as a guide to set some traps. Hunters had no success. June 15. Fine. Did not raise camp. Champaign's daughter died about noon. The old chief Latana accom- panied by 2 other Indians visited us. There are a few beaver among his people which I mean to go down [208] that way to trade. I received a note from Mr Lafram- boise dated 8th April. It contains no news but what was contained in the one I received a few days ago addressed to Mr McLoughlin. Men off yesterday returned. Hunt- ers out ; an elk & a deer killed. Comments June 13.
