Concluded to go to El Kader
Down to see the collection of
Judge Samuel Mundock. I
was told he had some Stavig
Fossils and an abundance of
large slab of Asaphus gigant
from the Trenton. I found however
that he had no Stavig fossils
and only four slabs of trilobites
having any value. He would
not part with either of these but
promised when he asked again to
Elgin (Ill) that he would not
fail to send the government a
good slab. I am to remind
him of this promise.
Left on the 7.30 P.M.
train at St Louis Prairie du
Chien for P. du Lac.
