6th & 4th of the Week set out from Middletown
Intending to breakfast at Boonsborough but
taking the wrong road we breakfasted at
a house on the sheppard town road after
breakfast we changed our rout & made
for Williamsport which after losing our
selves & going several miles out of our way rea
-ched about 2 oClock & dine afterwards
rode 8 miles to Daniel Herboin's where
we are now laid by for the night. our re-
flections were excited on passing the
conochocheage Valley a Valley perhaps in
-ferior to none in the Luxuriance of the
Soil but the comparison in the tillage
with the Valley we passed yesterday is
as much in favour of the former -- as there
is difference between that cultivated
by neat Dutch Farmers & that by
negro Drivers the tints of Distress &
Slavery being generally observable
in our rout this Day. our landlord has
a Spring Issueing from under his house
which turns a mill about 50 yards
below where it rises --
