Transcription Notes:
"Enc" stands for Encampment. Hall numbers his camps in this way. Hall's first encampment (Aug. 9, 1861) on Bache's Peninsula, is decribed on p. 354 of his book: " Arctic Researches, And Life Among The Esquimaux: Being A Narrative Of An Expedition In Search Of Sir John Franklin In The Years 1860, 1861 and 1862." By "by D. R." Hall may meand "dead reckoning." See pp 543-544 for this narrative. The other side of the enelope at the top of the page is probably page eight.
