Green & Doc came into camp today with Lipan and Abplingnak. Tue 24th. The sun shone thru the front window today for the first time, and lighted the room so that for an hour we did not need a light. This is the first time we have seen the sun here at the house this year. Wed 25th. In bed all day. I'm sure having no light attack of mumps. Thursday Feb 26th. I have been up all day today. The mumps have about run their course. I can eat now but not without difficulty x Made some repairs on the engine preparatory to running to- morrow. Doc went for a walk back of the house and came back in several hours with the surprising news that he saw and and almost captured a deer. Perhaps we shall try to get it tomorrow. Light snow.
