Expences in travelling mount high; the road uneven and
mirey in Places: We
are all favourd with health, being five in
number & have travelled in
the five days near two hundred miles.
Many of the people through this back
Country of late seemed to be
of the ungodly sort; and less room to receive
the Principles
of Truth, than I have seen in my eastern Travels of near
7,000
miles; Tho' we have among them met with some who were more
Friendly. On looking back over my travels, I believe I have endea-
vour'd
honestly to discharge the trust the Lord reposed in me, thro'
the ability he
afforded: Blessed forever be his great and holy Name,
who faileth not to
help in the needful times, and rewards with the
answer of sweet peace.
We are now at Munsy
large Meeting
seems to be well received. At Blooming-Grove
the next day, we visited a few friends who are lately come there:
they appear thoughtful in some degree, & have a pretty large
flock of youth & innocent Children; This is N. Westward of Munsy
wards the Alleganey Mountain: Here the day following we had
two meetings
for all that pleased to come; which, tho' attended with close Labor
were measurably satisfactory: much openness appear'd amongst
them to hear the world preached, & many signified their Unity.
