Lewis: March 22, 1806

Saturday March 22cd 1806. Drewyer and the Feildses departed this morning
agreably to the order of the last evening. we sent out seven hunters this
morning in different directions on this side the Netul. about 10 A.M. we
were visited by 4 Clatsops and a killamucks; they brought some dried
Anchoveis and a dog for sale which we purchased. the air is perefectly
temperate, but it continues to rain in such a manner that there be is no
possibility of geting our canoes completed.at 12 OCk. we were
visited by Comowooll and 3 of the Clatsops. to this Cheif we left our
houses and funiture. he has been much more kind an hospitable to us than
any other indian in this neighbourhood. the Indians departed in the
evening. the hunters all returned except Colter, unsuccessfull. we
determined to set out tomorrow at all events, and to stop the canoes
temperarily with Mud and halt the first fair day and pay them. the leafing
of the hucklebury riminds us of spring.
