13th. Sunday. In the morning cleared up to my disgust. In the afternoon had my horse shod and visited hospital, very neat and clean. There seems to be so much need of female nurses. Went down and saw Indians (Delawares and Osages) in their savage state–had heavy beads and rings in their ears–wore buckskin leggings and red blankets, faces all painted and marked. Good visit with A. B. N.
