             9     6        My spirit has mourned on account of the abominations
                          in the Land, so that my ordinary food has not
                          been pleasant as in days past, but I have been
                          favoured to feel the goodness of the Lord to be near,
                          to support in times of great weakness.

                          fort Erie & Jasper Parrish came passenger, by whom
                          we received satisfactory accounts from our families
                          and friends, in the afternoon we went about 6 miles
                          up the river, and had a religious opportunity with
                          a few sober persons at a house of one McCooms.
             12   2        Jasper Parrish very poorly with a high fever & head ache,
                          and William Savory unwell with the symptoms of the fever
                          and plague, but soon favour'd to get better.
             13   3        Capt.Wilbank before mentioned called to see us, he
                          came from the southward, and confirmed the account
                          respecting the Indians being deceived at the Treaty
                          held by Governor Blunt, and that the Interpreter
                          for so doing received a bribe of 80 Guineas.

Treaty one of the foremost Chiefs among the Wyondots told him,

 at                     that the Treaty held at Muskingum was conducted in

Muskingum an arbitrary manner, that Genl. Sinclear who was

                         sole agent, after he had collected the Indians together
                         in council, told them that their father the king of
                         England was conquered, & had ceded all the Lands
                         belonging to the Indians to the United States, and
                         represented them as a conquered People, but
                         notwithstanding the United States meant to
