-12. Cold & clear. First fine day, this winter. Kurill goes to the fish trap & then to his sable traps. Brings back 12 fish, a sable, a black pine grouse & a whiskey jack. Skin them in the evening. if the fish dont come out better now, I shall start with Yagor when Ivan gets back, from the Redoubt as I [[underlined]] must [[/underlined]] get some flour, & the bidarra up, and then if I can't feed the dogs; why, they must starve, The snow is hard now, with a good crust & fit for travelling. I is too bad not having any dog feed.
