of bread and other necessaries; and plenty of good
sugar which they make from the maple tree.

John Elliott

came up from our camp at the
landing, and we, with Jeremiah Moore and Benjamin
Hill, went to the Falls, where Jacob had not been,
and viewed them in a different direction from what
we had done before. In this as well as many other
things, the mighty works of Providence are emi-

6th. mo. 1st.

The weather wet and little business
to be done — though the article provision meets with
a large consumption — we being all in pretty good
health, and for the most part a number of Indians and

time in seeing our friends. This afternoon John Par-
rish and John Elliott, crossed the river and went to
