night, - distance 34 miles. Mch. 27th Left Montauk early and ate dinner at Star City - bought a handsome Navajo Indian blanket from Mrs. Mathews - reached Eagle City at 3 oclock - distance 36 miles - 4 days from Circle City - average 43 miles per day - 6 days from Ft. Yukon. We reached Eagle with Downing the long legged mail man, having traveled with him from Rampert Ft. Hamlin. We were 22 days in going from Eagle to Rampart - less one day not traveled & two half days = full traveling time 20 days - distance 520 miles - average, 26 miles per day. Returning 17 days - one day spent on "Nunivak" and one at Circle left 15 days - distance 520 miles = average 34 miles per day. Read my mail - but cannot begin work before tomorrow. So glad to get home - all well.
