return'd to my beloved friends near Otego, named John Brightman,
John Matthewson & Isaac Carr, who had Families; with others there

We had a farewell Meeting in Sleeper

's barn; satisfactory.
This being a time near our parting, we visited other families:
some with tears expressed their Sorrow at our leaving them. -
Here are some tender-spirited little Ones, who felt near and dear,
whose Condition for reasons aforesaid hath been trying.
