         1793 W
   5 mo. 26  D  1       We had a Meeting at J. Darlings to which many came, and the 
                             Meeting ended I hope to pretty good Satisfaction, in the afternoon
                             we rode to Jeremiah Browns & lodged.
            27       2        We went to Benjamin Hills to Breakfast, from thence about 1 
                             Miles to the Landing, where the goods are transported from Lake
                             Ontario, above the Falls to Lake Erie, to a Landing called Chippeway
                             about 10 Miles, this carrying Place, is a place of great Trade at
                             the Landing the Queens Ranges are stationed, there are divers Stores
                             besides the King's & other Houses, the Situation high & pleasant, the
                             Governor has two apartments, at this Place, which he offered to our
                             Service, but we gave the Preference to our Tents in the field, on
                             account of the Flux being among the Soldiers, at this Place we
                             met with our Friends who went by the way of Albany, which
                             was a pleasing Circumstance, as we found by confering with the
                             Commissioners, that the Treaty was not likely to come on as soon
                             as was expected, & it was found necessary that Jasper Parrish
                             should be dispatched off for Philadelphia, and we concluded to
                             embrace the first Opportunity to take our passage to Detroit, in
                             one of the King's vessels & obtained a pasport of the Governor for
                             that purpose.
            31       6        John Hockingvilder & the Doctor set off for Fort Erie, to endeavor
                             to procure a vessel, and we staid to forward the Bagage, and attend a 
                             Meeting appointed to be held on first day next, and then to follow
                             after, during our stay at this Place, we had several Days rain, 
                             with a cold N. East wind, nevertheless we were favour'd to keep in
                             health & good Spirits, we distributed the major Part of our Books,
                             they being much wanted, and presented the Governor with Wm Penns
                             Refections & Maxims, as a token of our regard, from whom we
                             received marks of real Friendship, he was free in Conversation,
                             said our coming did honor to our Society, he expressed an earnest
                             Desire that Peace might take place, & said it could not be expected
                             without Justice being done to the Indians, and thought that nothing
                             short of a restoration of the unoccupied Lands would be 
                             sufficient, he said the Brittish Government was disposed to
