This morning we had pleasant weather, The hunters that went out hunting the 28th instant had not as yet returned, and the Men that were sick belonging to our party are recovering their healths.  The party employed at making the Canoes, are so weak & feeble that-- they do but little work in the course of the day.--  Towards evening the hunters returned, & brought in with them a Deer, & a Pheasant that they had killed.--
