We left our Province on the twelfth Day of the third Month, in the Year 1746, and had several Meetings in the upper Part of _Chester_ County, and near _Lancaster_; in some of which, the Love of Christ prevailed, uniting us together in his Service. Then we crossed the River _Susquehannah_, and had several Meetings in a new Settlement, called the _Red-Lands_; the oldest of which, as I was informed, did not exceed ten Years. It is the poorer Sort of People that commonly begin to improve remote Desarts: With a small Stock they have Houses to build, Lands to clear and fence, Corn to raise, Clothes to provide, and Children to educate; that Friends, who visit such, may well sympathise with them in their Hardships in the Wilderness; and though the best Entertainment such can give may seem coarse to some who are used to Cities, or old settled Places, it becomes the Disciples of Christ to be content with it. Our Hearts were sometimes enlarged in the Love of our heavenly Father amongst these People; and the sweet Influence of his Spirit supported us through some Difficulties: To him be the Praise! We passed on to _Monoquacy_, _Fairfax_, _Hopewell_, and _Shanando_, and had Meetings; some of which were comfortable and edifying. From _Shanando_ we set off in the Afternoon for the old Settlements of Friends in _Virginia_; and, the first Night, we, with our Pilot, lodged in the Woods, our Horses feeding near us; but he being poorly provided with a Horse, and we young and having good Horses, were free the next Day to part with him; and did so. In two Days after, we reached to our Friend _John Cheagle's_, in _Virginia_; so we took the Meetings in our Way through _Virginia_; were, in some Degree, baptized into a feeling Sense of the Conditions of the People; and our Exercise in general was more painful in these old Settlements, than it had been amongst the back Inhabitants: But, through the Goodness of our heavenly Father, the Well of living Waters was, at Times, opened to our Encouragement and the Refreshment of the sincere-hearted. We went on to _Perquimons_, in _North-Carolina_, had several Meetings, which were large, and found some Openness in those Parts, and a hopeful Appearance amongst the young People. So we turned again to _Virginia_, and attended most of the Meetings which we had not been at before, labouring amongst Friends in the Love of Jesus Christ, as Ability was given; and thence went to the Mountains, up _James-River_, to a new Settlement, and had several Meetings amongst the People, some of whom had lately joined in Membership with our Society. In our journeying to and fro, we found some honest-hearted Friends, who appeared to be concerned for the Cause of Truth among a backsliding People.
