Dear journal,
I fear our men our growing restless. Private reed tried to run off. We found him 3 days later. He was tried and sentenced to a whipping. Illness hes fallen over many of our men includin my good friend Clark! We are running low on supplies and tradeing goods. today we got close to a small hostile tribe. 2 men died and York was shot. I fear we may not make it. I pray for all of my sick and hurt men.
