  Thursday 12th December 1805 All hands that are well employ'd in Cutting 
  logs and raising our winter Cabins, detached two men to Split boards ¬ Some 
  rain at intervales all last night and to day ¬ The flees were So 
  troublesom last night that I made but a broken nights rest, we find great 
  dificuelty in getting those trouble insects out of our robes and blankets ¬ in 
  the evening two Canoes of Chit Sops Visit us they brought with them Wap pa 
  to, a black Sweet root they Call Sha~na toe qua, and a Small Sea Otter 
  Skin, all of which we purchased for a fiew fishing hooks and a Small Sack 
  of Indian tobacco which was given by the Snake Inds# 
  = 
  Those Indians appear well disposed we gave a Medal to the principal Chief 
  named Con~ny~au or Com mo~wol and treated those with him with as much 
  attention as we could ¬ I can readily discover that they are Close 
  deelers, & Stickle for a verry little, never close a bargin except 
  they think they have the advantage Value Blue beeds highly, white they 
  also prise but no other Colour do they Value in the least ¬ the Wap pa 
  to they Sell high, this root the purchase at a high price from the nativs 
  above.
