Reached powder River were met by 20 men sent from Nez Perce's by Mr. Black. The interior brigade 1 has not yet reached Fort Nez Perce's. Leaving the brigade in charge of F. Payette, I shall to-morrow leave for the fort. Saturday 19th. Reached Nez Perce's — all well. Tuesday 22nd July. Brigade arrived safe. Mr. McKay's party will join us at Ft. Vancouver. So ends my 4th trip to the Snake Country and I have to regret the loss of lives. The returns far exceed my expectations. 1 Carrying the furs from Thompson river and Kootenai and Flathead districts down the river to Fort Vancouver.
