to go this Evening: We rode
about 9 miles through the
white Settlements, and stopping
at a
House to enquire the

belonging to

mistrusting
us, by our Appear
ance, shewed great Friendship,
calling us
Brothers & Quakers,
and offered to pilot us to the
Indian
Settlement; but being
much in Liquor, and having a
Gun and
Hatchet, it appeared
some Trial to accept his Of-
fer; more
especially as the
Evening was approaching;
