Joe's Birthday


February 28th, 1806
Dear Journal,
Guess what today was? Well I'm gonna tell you, it was Joe's birthday! Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Joe, happy birthday to you.
Today the jerked elk supply is down to three days' worth, and that is spoiled, so two parties of hunters are set out in different directions: toward Point Adams, and across the Netul River. Drouillard and two others are sent up to the Columbia river to catch (or purchase, if need be) candle fish.
It is really annoying that the elk supply is low right now, that is a pretty bad disadvantage! Hope that the hunters return back soon and safely. Joe, I also hope that you had a wonderful birthday and enjoyed it too [:
