friends disowned them, they would not disown

attended friends meetings for worship; and,
being people of property, they have, on all

sary expense of the society. I was told that in
this instance their two wives had furnished the
means of defraying nearly the whole expense of
building this handsome meeting-house. In the
afternoon I parted with J. B. and set out for
Schenectady

on the Mohawk River. I arrived
there early in the evening where I lodged. This
day I sent letters to my dear wife by J. B. to
be forwarded from New-York.
