Being equipped, we again set out, and ar-
rived at my house about sun-set. The girls continu-

them. We accordingly set out for James Emlen

's,
in Delaware county, where we arrived safely, and
were kindly treated.

meeting, where they behaved in a becoming man-

take charge of them, and instruct them in the busi-
ness of housewifery. Two of the girls were placed
with Nathan Coope

and son;—one, with a woman
Friend, who had a concern to take charge of one of
the Indians;—one was placed with the family of
