going down. it is well Timberd &
a large space of land pretty level & good
on the top--Our Course to day has been
mainly West--our Road Muddy & rough
the worst on the whole that we
have had--the Timber in places good
but not generally so heavy as
yesterday--at Lurmans

we put a
cake of Break in our pockets & 2 Qts
of oats each in our Bags for our Horses
(being all they had threshd)--this frugal
fare was soon dispatchd about noon
at an Indian Encampment by the side of the Pine Waters,
where we stopd in the Woods there being
no House between here & Lurmans,
nor shall we find any they tell us
before we reach Kings set
tlement (calld Ceres Town). We have
been last riding thro Tioga County
but are now in Potter County, this
is written at William Dyres's--25
Miles from Lurmans which we left
