Journal Thomsons River Aug.t 1841

[Journal kept by Chief Trader John Tod]
I John Tod arrived here with two men & M Ogden from Alexandria on the 3rd, found the Fort, at least the Store & dwelling House, locked up, but guarded by the Indian Lolo alone who had passed the Summer here with his wife & family Reports that he had suffered much from hunger, and the natives around in consequence of the want of ammunition had experienced much privation that way also. The murderer of M.r Sam. Black still lives, but is not far off and that should M.r Ogden on his arrival feel disposed to send after him, he (Lolo) would most willingly accompany the party. No reports as yet of that gentleman & his Brigade_
