Dear Journal,
It's been awhile since we've had a birthday, about a month I'd say! Well things are about to change because today just happens to be Joe's birthday! Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Joe, happy birthday to you!
Today seemed like a pretty good day. Sixteen people were sent upstream to find trees suitable for making canoes, and they returned late in the day reporting much success! Arriving from the Arikaras is French trader Gravelines. His news is that the Arikaras are still friendly towards the Corps, Mandans, and Hidatsas, but the Teton Sioux plan to kill all whites they see, and are planning raids on the Mandan and Hidatsas villages. Chief Black Buffalo's Sioux favor the Corps and peace.
So we learned some not so great news today but that didn't put our spirits down for all that we cared about today was making sure Joe had a great birthday [:
