  Monday May 14th 1804 Rained the forepart of the day I determined to go as 
  far as St# Charles a french Village 7 Leags# up the Missourie, and wait at 
  that place untill Capt# Lewis Could finish the business in which he was 
  obliged to attend to at St Louis and join me by Land from that place 24 
  miles; by this movement I calculated that if any alterations in the 
  loading of the Vestles or other Changes necessary, that they might be made 
  at St# Charles

  I Set out at 4 oClock P#M# in the presence of many of the 
  Neighbouring inhabitents, and proceeded on under a jentle brease up the 
  Missourie to the upper Point of the 1st Island 4 Miles and Camped on the 
  Island which is Situated Close on the right (or Starboard) Side, and 
  opposit the mouth of a Small Creek called Cold water, a heavy rain this 
  after~noon

  The Course of this day nearly West wind from N# E
