There was one Mill Built & one More [delete] preparing
for another. many of the settlers [delete] are prepa-
-ring to live handsomely. this perhaps is
as good a settlement as almost any we have
seen. there is 4 meetings about Still Water
& one [delete: about] on White Water belonging to West
Branch Monthly Meeting Still Water is
navigable [delete: above] many Miles above the
Settlement of Friends. our Horses are much
Jaded & we propose staying here. we lodged
here & were kindly & well entertained

we set out about 8 OClock & Rode
to Stanton about 5 miles through very
rich Land & a tolerable road we crossed
the River & fed our Horses at Reeds where
William Kirk lay sick. & had been here
2 or 3 weeks in that Condition he was so
well as to be able to Walk about & was in
hope that he would be able to go to his
Station in a few Days. we set out from
Stanton near noon & Rode through a
Good Country to Mordecai Walkers about
a Mile from Wainesville
