"I namedly chose no more as it would mean pass another camp or lead the war. Thurmy her-heres brush-beau bluish-gray forest. We reached Inchiang at 2 P.M. made camp in a temple on a hill overlooking the town. Before reaching the town we passed thru a pass where yellow pine, large cedar pine, fir trees & oaks were the forest trees. The day was clearing to start but from 10 a.m. it stopped & remained cloody. We saw of the pines on the road, one on the walls of a temple! I saw 2 agnards in the pine forests. The natives we met on the road wore gray skin coats, with the hair on the inside during rain & inside when it was clear. The hair of the goats here's long & blade like that of yaks for which we mistook them at first. Many from trees loaded with fruit were seen in gardens. Fields blue with columbine were seen in several places where there was waste ground.
