Tuesday, April 7

This morning it is fair but cold and windy. The ground is frozen stiff

and considerable ice. Many of the tents are still lying flat and

everything around shows that the storm was very severe. A number of the

band have no meat and some no flour nor in fact scarcely any provisions

and several have had little, only what I have given them out of the

stock I laid in for my family. I have this morning given the guard

the bag of flour Miller left and a piece of pork and also a piece to

Redding. The day continued fine but roads almost impassable. Evening

the band played some.
