Horse & Robert & Moroni a mule each to
go & again hunt for my horse when Robert got about
40 rods from the House being on a strange Mule that
had not been broak to ride the Mule plunged into the
air with him & Jumped stiff legged & flung him
over his head & then Jumped onto him with his
fore feet & then kicked him in the head split his
right cheek open & cut a gash in his head & came
nigh killing him He walked back to the House & left
the Mule I put him up. Dr France sowed up his cheek
& in the evening he walked out. I rode some 15 miles
after the Horse Wilford & Moronin Hunted nearly all day
but we could not find him I went to bed about
