  December 31st Tuesday 1805 A Cloudy night & Some rain, this day proved 
  Cloudy and Some Showers of rain to day all the Indians Continued at their 
  Camp near us, 2 others Canoes Came one from the War~ci~a~cum Village, with 
  three Indians, and the other from higher up the river of the Skil~lute 
  nation with three men and a Squar; Those people brought with them Some 
  Wapto roots, mats made of flags, & rushes, dried fish and Some fiew 
  Shene~tock~we (or black) roots & Dressed Elk Skins, all of which they 
  asked enormous prices for, particularly the Dressed Elk Skins; I purchased 
  of those people Some Wapto roots, two mats and a Small pouch of Tobacco of 
  their own manufactory ¬ for which I gave large fish hooks, which they 
  were verry fond, those Indians are much more reserved and better behaved 
  to day than yesterday ¬ the Sight of our Sentinal who walks on his 
  post, has made this reform in those people who but yesterday was verry 
  impertenant and disagreeable to all ¬ This evening they all Cleared 
  out before the time to Shut the gates, without being derected to doe So ¬ I 
  derected Sinks to be dug and a Sentinal Box which was accomplished one of 
  those Indeans brought a Musquet to be repared, which only wanted a Screw 
  flattened, for which he gave me a Peck of Wapto roots, I gave him a flint 
  and a pice of Sheep Skin of which he was pleased
