Hubbard. Wallace
talked of his sisters and I did the same, especially my youngest
brother, as my father and mother died some years ago and he was
left under my care. It was quite a different talk beside the other
nights' talk, as we never let a night pass without being talking
about good restaurants, and what we would do when we got home.
About 10 miles from there the flour was we were looking forward to.
So I told Mr. Hubbard to see what he would think. If he couldn't
really have the strength of going any farther, that Wallace and I
would try and go and find the flour, and if we found it one would
return and bring some of the flour to him, and the other would try
and make his way out to Northwest River, as it is nearly 80 miles
to Northwest River post, and may be I might come across some
trappers and be able to help him.
He at first said it was no use of trying, as he knew how weak we
were and that we would only be scattered abroad.
Should a relief party be sent out to look for us, they will find us
here in our camp; but if you wish to try all right. You are more
than trying to save me. I never came across a man so brave as you
are.
