22d

We had a large and solid meeting at the Widow Britts

', in Cam-
den County, N. Carolina, a place where never had been held one of our
Meetings, and but few of the people who ever had attended at one.

The next day also we had a large and favoured meeting in the same
County, at the widow Richardson

's; These seemed a kind people, much
unacquainted with our way, and many hearts were tendered: I believe it was
a time not to be forgotten by some.

24th

At Piney-Woods

, we attended Friends preparative meeting: Here I had close
Labour, things appearing in a low state: I endeavored to stir them up to a
more lively Zeal for the cause and Testimony of truth; which they ap-
peared to receive well. On the next day was the Select Meeting at
the same place, for their Quarterly Meeting. My concern was to stir
up to the pure part on the right education of Children and Families,
that becoming plainness might be kept to, and they be good examples
themselves, in their houses, furniture &c. --- The day follow-
ing was held their Qu.ly Meeting for business: Here, I believe the State of
my friends in a religious sense was poor, but little life & power: I lab-
oured both amongst Men and women in my small ability, for their help,
and I hope it ended to some profit at last: tho' a trying time.

27th

I went from hence to Little-River

, being a second time: and was at Meeting
there on first day, which I believe ended well. And in the after-
noon had a Meeting in the Court-house of Pasquotank County; at
which were many people, of black and White; It was a season of
general
