8th Set of soon this Morning for Wil- -listown Meeting. Shortly after we crossed Schuylkill we passed a small lot of spring barley perhaps the first we had seen went to my Brother in- -law Amos Garretts, before Meeting 15m &; where we left our horses, where I heard from my dear Wife and family, being the first account I had from them since I left home. and I left truly thankfull I was so near my own habitation, and among my near relations, and inti -mate friends. We returned here from Meeting and got our dinners, and set of homewards, our roads parting on the way, we took an affectionate fare- -well of each other, having been out toga- -ther ten Weeks wanting one day, and travelled more than 1200 miles in near unity, and Christian fellowship through some proving dispensations. I got home in the evening, and found my Dear Wife and family all well, by whom I was gladly recieved. and I felt thank -full I was got once more amongst them
