The river was very high and it was out of the question to think of going up so the sergeant dispatched the dyaks and a few convicts up with the mail and some food. We did not know about it until after they left so we couldn’t get a note off to Matt. Spent the entire day reading and only stopped to eat. The night was also devoted to catching up with the times as illustrated in the advertisements and the Elgin Papers.
