Our Landlords house stands on a pleasant
elevated spot having a rich, furtile Meadow
in front, enlivened by the Buffaloe to its Con-
-fluence with Lake Erie, the stream is perhaps
as Large>r than of Brandywine, and the Lake its

the Wind is high in the West, it so raises
the Water in this end of the Lake, that it
flows up the Buffaloe like a flood tide

narrow frame scarely room for two to
lay on their Back, with Boards instead of
Sackingbottom with and a very thin Strawbed

upper Chambers next the Roof
