25^th [FIGURE] we spent about 2 hours searching for a ford
the water was cold some snow on the ground in the
morning it disappeared after the sun got up we found
a ford and all got over much better than we expect
some of the first teams got down & had to be helped
out as soon as the road was packed we went well
we travled 10 miles & camped on the platt at an old
Indian town. A company was fitted out for winter
Quarters I wrote a letter to Mrs Woodruff 10
