to the top - this I named
Mount Collicott - after the
Post Master General in V. D. Land - I never
saw or could supposed there
could be so extensive Plains
as I saw to day 5,000 Sheep
would be almost lossed
upon them – but the only
thing I see at present is the
want of water, but am
sure it could be obtained
by digging in almost any
place - the Children where
good looking and of an healthy
appearance, they were dreadfully
afraitted by the discharge of a
Gun, and all of them dropped
down immediately. I think
they never heard the report, or
saw a Gun before, we saw
a great number of wild Turkeys
to day / but could not shoot
one, we could not have
walked less than 30 miles to day
