Talk:miff

The earliest citation for "miffed", here and in other dictionaries, is the 1824 quotation from Walter Scott's Redgauntlet. This 1805 occurrence appears to be using the word in the same defined sense, as far as I can see. What do you think - is it worth including as an earlier citation? [Clark's journal][March] 12th [1805] "he [our Interpreter Shabonah] will not agree to work let our Situation be what it may nor Stand a guard, and if miffed with any man he wishes to return when he pleases" Source: The journals of Lewis and Clark, edited by Bernard DeVoto (Houghton Mifflin, Boston, 1953, page 85).
