[[underlined]] Marionville to Galena, Mo. 

June 20 [[/underlined]]  Took the stage at Marionville at 9 A.M. & reached Galena at 3 P.M.  My trunk had not come so I will not hurry through but wait till morning to go out to Powells place.
For company on the stage I had Dr.^[[insertion]] T.H. [[/insertion]] Jones of Galena and a young man from Ash Grove, Mo., both intelligent men who gave me much information of a reliable character.

A long rough road, over hilly country, very stony, timber mostly scrub-oak, many northern plants.

[[underlined]] June 21 [[/underlined]]  Mr. Purdy was going out to Marble Cave and kindly offered me a ride.  Left Galena at 7 A.M. and reached Mr. Powells place at noon.  Saw no game along the road though most of the way through unsettled woods and over timber covered ridges.  A rough road, crossed a small creek many times.

Went to a wind cave where a strong current of cold air is constantly coming out with considerable force.

In P.M. went into the cave and followed many of the passages for long distances.  Found signs of Neotomas & Sitomys, saw no bats but lots of droppings.
