Last evening I attended a committee of the
yearly meeting, appointed for the revisal of the
discipline.

In the afternoon, I attended the fourth sitting;
the early part of which was employed in reading
several certificates of public friends present. Some
committees were appointed; and a report
from the committee on the revision of the disci-
pline, was read and agreed to.

4th Month, 17th.

In the morning, I attended
the fifth sitting, when the consideration on the
state of society, as it appeared from the answers
to the queries, as entered into. The minutes of
the meeting for sufferings were also read; and an
epistle to the yearly meeting in London was read
and agreed to.

In the afternoon was the sixth sitting, when a
report of the state of Westown School

was read.
Afterwards a discussion took place on the subject
of report of the Committee on Indian affairs
being read in the meeting; but it ended without
any decision of the question at that time. A testi-
mony respecting Wm. Savery was read, and also
one on account of another deceased friend, which
concluded the meeting agreeably.
