Mrs. Wilkinson the Lady of the Govr. & Genl. we wer Sorry to find in delicate health.

Clark decides to watch the rain from inside a house, an event he hasn't been able to enjoy for some time.  The "Contonemt" was the first fort on the west side of the Missippi and the officers mentioned were  both veterans of the Revolution. They're close enough to St Louis now that Clark doesn't mark down the miles traveled.
