broken down that they smelled like
fresh hay, there being many Pokebushes
along the Road, they
which were knocked all
to pices, the stalks which were as thick
as
rake handles were broke, in short
all vegetation where the storm
reched
suffered much; the fences, stumps, &
Old logs were much
marked: the Win-
-dows of a number of houses were very
much destroyed,
one place of Worshi[p]
we understood had more than 300
lights
broke.
A fine Morning, and a pleasant day
for traveling: about 8 or 9 miles of a
fine
Country down the River, the poorly
farmed
buildings not near so good as further back,
thence 5 miles to
Adridges where we got
our Breakfasts, through land equally
as good,
and much better farmed, with
some large buildings; both spring and
Winter Wheat good, also the Corn; and fine
meadows loaded with the best of
Grass; the
River at times close on our right, which
flowed along with a gentle Current, appeard
pretty deep, tho not much wider
than Bar[n]
