s twenty five miles from where we
started in the morning at a very suitable stage in point of distance
but in every other way miserable, having neither food
for Man nor Horse, of an Infamous character & of such a
nature that Travellers dreads the making a night stage
of this place having reports on both sides that he’s both
a murderer & Robber. By the time we got to Thomp

Quarters, it’s call'd the Wilderness for twenty miles
of the way mountainous part very stony, other parts
very Miry on greater part of the way has
an appearance nearly alike much of the Land

Top of this Mountain pretty levil until we came
near the decent, where we have when we
