3d Month, 2d, 3d, and 4th,

were spent in Phi-
ladelphia

. The 2d I drank tea and spent a plea-
sant evening at my kind friend T. S.'s, formerly of
Kendal. On the 3d I attended the North Division
Meeting
, and was afterwards kindly entertained by
J. W.'s family, in which I spent an agreeable even-
ing in company with A. A. and R. J.; and on the
4th spent part of the day at my friend T. S.'s, in
company with A. A. and her companion M. R.

3d Month, 10th.

I went over to Germantown

,
attended their meeting, and returned to Philadel-
phia
in the evening. At Germantown, I perceived
that many of the friends were descendants of
German parents; and I should suppose that most
of the towns people are of German extraction.
I observed here a number of stocking makers, who
manufacture an excellent and substantial article.

3d Month, 11th.

I dined at the house of a
friend, a native of Bermudas. In the course of
conversation he informed me, that his business
having led him to St. Eustatia, he was there at the
time that island was captured by Admiral Rodney;
and was witness to many transactions consequent
on the capture of such an island; which, like
every other effect of war, produced great distress
and misery to the inhabitants.
