In the afternoon Mató-Tópe came and stayed for the evening at the fort. In the evening he told me many words of the Arikara language, which he understands thoroughly. Later he fetched a few robes, lay down in front of the fireplace, and slept in our room; he did not at all, however, take care of the fire. Mr. Bodmer gave him a “double” pipe, which entertained him greatly.
