Aldridges.This seems to be a low flat Country, the water unwholsome,&; the Place sickly. -- Some asked me if I was not afraid ofbeing sick; I told them I thought I was not for I enjoy'd a quietmind, which I esteemed a great blessing; more especially when- I am in the Lord's service. 15th. Next day at Jonn. Smith's, wehad a large and favoured Meeting, in which much tenderness ap-peared among both old and young, a comfortable season to many.This was about four Miles from Canadocwey. 16th. At Willm. Ingle's in the forenoon we had a pretty large mee-ting, which was comfortable. And in the afternoon (in the)at Canadocwy we had another, in the Court,house, not solarge, nor so much favour'd; yet it was agreeable to observe the people sat commendably quiet and attentive. 17th.
