Joshua's Companions left him, as he now thinks to return homeward from
Canandaigua

, and continue with us so far. We expect to proceed tomorrow afternoon,
taking Onondago, and Cayuga, in our way; and begin to promise ourselves the pleasure of
taking up the letters that have been forwarded to the care of Captain Chapin, if all goes well,
by the middle of the month. Till when you will hardly hear again from

Your affectionate Joseph Sansom
