Mató-Tópe got up early; however, he left his buffalo hides in the room for us [to deal with]. . . .
Later I gave Mató-Tópe a necklace of bear claws to take along, which he will finish for me. I bought an otter skin and blue glass pearls in the store for added decoration. Furthermore, I gave him colors and a piece of paper [so that he could] paint for me one of the skirmishes he [had] participated in. Mr. Bodmer also gave him several colors.
