We arose this morning took breakfast of my fowles, but I felt
as though I had been foundered I was vary sore & stiff still
we went into the mountain & performed the same labour as
yesterday in the snow we cut about another Hundred of
dry pine poles & slid them down the mountain over the snow
It was the first time in my life I had laboured in 3 feet of
snow on the 20 day of may. we had cut during 3 day about 300
poles & slid them down the mountain two days of which time
I labored. Robert cut 90 before I came also 80 pine House
logs 18 feet long to build a House down on the farme we
returned to our camp weary & cold & spent the night
