7 mo 23 3 of 25 years, this man appeared in his sentiments as dark as many

                            Negroe masters in the Southern States.
            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 Thos:
                            Reynold, Commissary in the Kings service, a man of distinguished 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.
           25     5            After being in Detroit 6 weeks & 3 Days we embarked
                            on board the Schooner Dunmore, Capt: Ford Master, in
                            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
                            thunder shower, & wet our tents through,so that we were
                            oblige to move into the house
           27     7              John Elliot & I walked 1 1/2 mile down the River to
                             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.
            28     1            Jacob Lindley, John Elliott, & I crossed the river about
                            3 Miles to an Island called Grosszele, & had a satisfactory
                            Meeting with the people, who behaved in a solid manner
           29      2           Two boats arrived with about 25 Indians from the
                            grand Council, deputed to wait on the Commissioners, and to
