Some have young, the whippoorwill setting. The wood duck now has it's young, this duck is abundant, and except one solitary pelican and a few geese, these ducks were the only aquatic fowls we have seen yet. A very warm day. I took some medicine last night which has worked well. Delayed three hours, the day excessively hot.
Turkeys are plenty on the shore.
G. Drewyer inform that he saw Pecan trees on the S.S. yesterday. There are great quantities of grapes and raspberries. A creek comes in on the S.S. called Parques. The river became crowded with drift and became dangerous to cross from the caving in of the banks. Passed a creek on the L.S. called Turquie or Turkey Creek.
