Monday, May 31st, 1915
A long day from 4 o'clock
this morning at midnight
and not to bed for some
time yet as we are just
in from Etah leaving then
about 11 o'Clock.
Everything had to be
tramped very over the hill
so it took us same time,
2 snow-shoes to wig through
the valley and across the
land where I came look
up toward Casefatherlow
before I was overtaken by
two-car, two-man and
lady-king-walk.
It was so warm when
leaving Etah that I gave
the boys each a new pair
of blue pants with which they
were delighted. But before
we got to Carakol, they were
nearly the color of their pants
with cold.
The ice was very thin
so we broke through in
several places. Just this side
of Casefatherlow two-car-fairy-walk
made a real furnishing ford.
