Left Mr Jerew and crossed
the Osage River and travled through a
long level fertile praire a southeast
course we traveled this day 60 long miles
it being so dark we could not follow
the road and we concluded to camp in
the woods for the night as we could hear
no sound but the howling of wolfs and
as we were about to build a fire we herd
the barking of a dog and the tinkling of
a bell we went towards the sound and
came to the house of Mr Williams
Notwithstanding Mr Williams was from
Jackson Co yet he receieved us for
the night this was in Polk County
