User-Contributed Transcription 112of a mile to a lone black pine tree, where exposed to wind, fog and cold chilly dampness, we were destined to pass another miserable nightSept 20th 1851 Last night was perceptably [sic] more severe than any previous night. Hedden improved all his time during the night, rubbing me all over carefully at times & almost burying me up in the sand at other times. bolstering me up in one place & easing me down in another in his efforts to relieve me and after a tedious night we had the satisfaction of seeing daylight appear in the East I had an inward fever or something or other of that sort which caused me to thirst much more than usual, but we had seen no fresh water since we had left the Indian camp at Coose The brush and briers we had been obliged to pass through had cut and scratched my feet and legs, so that they were completely raw and Heddens was in equally as bad a condition I felt myself to be weaker
