Susquehannah to Lake Erie a little

Conewango north of Chatoughqua Lake --

This road was possible for horses & not
much more can be said in its favour altho
the ground will admit of a Good road being
made -- We traveld on it about 14 Miles

under one night, without fire & snow
on the Ground, when traveling the same
path alone near eight years before --
