 288 Charles Henry Carey Tuesday, 12. Busy writing. Wednesday, 13. Bro. Waller, from the Dalls, is with us. We are busy in preparing to keep house. I make a bill of crockery and iron ware of $10.10, one piece of calico, $9.90 ; total $20.00. Thursday, 14. I arrange passage for Mr. and Mrs. Hines and two children to Sandwich Islands, $150.00; from there to the states, $520.00. Friday, 15. This day I perfect a draft for the above passages.

Gary, Jr. All of these were delivered to over the mountain company July 1 except one to the board, 1 to Mr. Adams and 1 to Bishop Hedding. Tuesday, 19. This day I am favored (if a favor it be) with a bill from Fort VanCouver, for lumber borrowed by the mission ; between thirteen and fourteen thousand feet, borrowed in 1841. I have some comfort when I receive these old unsettled bills; I think every one is the last. At any rate, each one diminishes from the number remaining. Wednesday, 20. We are having considerable of a rain which is very uncommon for this season of the year. Bro. Hines has much to try his patience in settling up his affairs. The purchasers of his claims are by no means
