Sunkhaze is a large Stream coming in from the east.-
The land on both sides of the River from this Stream up to Sugar Island is very good for one mile back- some ridges run further- but generally the back land is not so good, low boggy and wet- on the shores is fine intervale running back from 20 to 100 rods- the Islands are all excellent land, alluvial soil, covered with a fine growth of hard wood, such as Grey oak, Rock, Red and White maple, Yellow Birch, Beach and Elm- this tract must from appearances have formerly been a Lake, and now is mostly flowed in high freshes.- Arrived at Castugan's at 9.P.M. and stop there.-
Wednesday 27. Proceed up river- after buying another Birch Canoe, which I am under the necessity of doing as I find by informa-tion from Beeson who has lately returned from Canada, that the water up the West Branch is extremely low- that it will be almost impossible to get up with our baggage in one canoe.- Drew an order on Missrs Barker & Crosby for $5 in part pay for canoe and Paddles- paid cash $1.00.
