I never knew they were going to have it until Emmet Pierson came walking in and said Scout Leader and others are waiting for you to go out to the camp and attend morning star pack. I at once spoke to asst cashier to do my work that he would be paid by you. I at once wrote and got a team went out. Arriving there I found the tent full with old man. The men in the west sat as follows [[ five vertical lines]] | | | | | [[with numbers above]] 1 2 3 4 5  #3 Scout - #2 Leader #4 Good Eagle #1- John Buffalo #5 Skeedee Jake. The pack was already oppenned. The ceremony of the Thunderings were being gone through these things were added. Everything they sang was about earth - timber, water, and fields. = Fields really meaning seeds. First Earth timber, water, then seeds to sustain life- I hope you understand when I mean - Then moccasins only they add "Kah-oock-to-" "Soft downie feather" - Every thing seems to be covered with this soft feathers_
