[[underlined]] To Darby + 4 miles beyond [[/underlined]]

[[underlined]] Aug. 31 [[/underlined]]. Started south up the valley & passed through Hamilton & Darby & camped 4 miles beyond Darby on east fork road. Came about 34 miles.

The valley narrows but is a fine farming country all along with good crops & lots of water and ditches & good homes. It is all Transition across the bottom & far up on either side. Yellow pine is mixed with balsam poplar & some augustifoba & patches of aspen all along the bottoms. There are great quantities of apples on the trees & grain & other crops are fine.
