bidarshiks permission for Paspilkof to work on the sled on Companys time I to pay him of course. Skin three bird label + put away a lot of specimens
[line] Monday Feb 3 1868 [line]
Morning. Kurill + Paspilkof go after birch + bring back what is needed for the sled. Johnny + Peetka go off after a deer whose track is on the Nulato River but he is far away by this time. About 3 P.M. there is a commotion as somebody says Stepanoff is coming. About 4 P.M. arrives and proves to be Cameroff , Lukeen, and Aloshka with two sleds and 12 dogs, from the Redoubt. They bring 2 little bags of oil for Ivan and a keg of molasses + some salt just a present for Stepanoff for me Of course they didn't come to bring these things merely. I asked for news if any post had arrived from Sitka. They said they "didn't know" which I know was a lie But I afterward hear a rumor to the effect that it has arrived
