Expences in travelling mount high; the road uneven andmirey in Places: We are all favourd with health, being five innumber &; have travelled in the five days near two hundred miles.Many of the people through this back Country of late seemed to beof the ungodly sort; and less room to receive the Principlesof Truth, than I have seen in my eastern Travels of near 7,000miles; Tho' we have among them met with some who were more Friendly. On looking back over my travels, I believe I have endea-vour'd honestly to discharge the trust the Lord reposed in me, thro'the ability he afforded: Blessed forever be his great and holy Name,who faileth not to help in the needful times, and rewards with theanswer of sweet peace. 24th. We are now at Munsy in Pennsylvania; have attended alarge Meeting among my friends &; others, and had close Labour, wch.seems to be well received. At Blooming-Grove (or Pine-Grove)the next day, we visited a few friends who are lately come there: they appear thoughtful in some degree, &; have a pretty largeflock of youth &; innocent Children; This is N. Westward of Munsy, to-wards the Alleganey Mountain: Here the day following we hadtwo meetings: one of them with our friends selected; and the otherfor all that pleased to come; which, tho' attended with close Laborwere measurably satisfactory: much openness appear'd amongst them to hear the world preached, &; many signified their Unity. 27th. Visited some families at Muncy to satisfaction.
