IO53 noon [but Colter is still absent]. The former brought three Indians, who promised to go with us to the falls of the Mis- souri, for the compensation of two guns. One of them is the brother of Cut-nose, and the other two had each given us a horse, at the house of IJroken-arm; and as they are men of good character, respected in the nation, we had the best prospect of being well served.
