            24    4          Deep has been my suffering in this place, but the goodness
                            of the most high is near to manifest himself to be strength
                            in weakness, riches in poverty, and a present help on every
                            needful time of trouble,  In the evening we went to see Tho:
                            Reynold, Commissary in the Kings service, a man of distin-
                            guished reputation, with an amiable family, with whom we
                            had some solid religious Conversation, and we parted under
                            a sense of that which unites the Christian travellers of all
                            religious persuasions.

                            Company with Col: England & two of his Officers, weighed
                            Anchor about 9 O'Clock, & fell down the river about 10 miles
                            with the current, & a light breeze, but the wind slacking  several
                            of us went with the Col: in his Barge down to Capt: Elliotts,
                            at the mouth of the River, where we met with the 
                            Commissioners waiting for an answer from the Indians,
                            and our meeting was to mutual satisfaction.
           26     6             Nothing Material, except in the night came a very heavy

                             visit the wife & family of Simon Gurty, who was kind to
                            me & my Companions when on a visit to  the Indians at
                            Muskingum 20 years ago.
