- April 28 - We were going to all takes a day off and write letters today but we did not. Miss Alexander got a big head of mice and a shrew so we had plenty to do. Just before noon and Indian came paddling across the street and after talking a while he dug up two nice freshly caught animals. He wanted to sell them and Miss Alexander finally bought them for 5 apiece. They were both males and were fine large fellows. One weighed 4 3/4 and the other 4 1/4 pounds. They were very fat and awfully hard to put up but they are very handsome when finished. Two hunters came in this evening with a fresh bear skin and skull The skin is magnificent; rich dark brown, almost black hair of a good lengths. The bear skin looks black from a little distant. The bear was killed Apr.22 at Pleasant Bay A. J. It was shot 3 times with a Savage 30-30 and dropped within 10 yards of the hunters.
