1793 W D 5 mo. 22 We Went a few Miles to see John Taylor & family from Buck County, they rejoiced to see us, as did the other friends we visited. Oh! how would the Crumbs that fall from thy Table O Philadephia, be gather'd up by some of those scattered here in the Wilderness. Whilst we were in this Neighbourhood, the Pigeons flew in such Multitudes, that the People nock'd down abundance with Sticks, & I like the Coachman who loves to hear the smack of a whip, fetched down the best part of a Dozen. The climate appears to be temparate, and it woudl be much more pleasant if it were not for the abundance of Musquetoes, The Treaty is not likely to come on so soon as was expected, we learn that Cap.t Brant has gone forward with a number of his Tribe, & others to prepare the Way, and we are in expectation that in a few Days a considerable Number of Indians, of the five Nations will arrive, to go with us to the place appointed, who appear to be heartily disposed to promote the Work of Peace, O how the musequetoes bite)
