"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.
