here to one, which is calld Pico. Arrived there in 

 the afternoon & spent the rest of the day on the 

 foot of the peak, to ascend early in the morning. 



21. With a great deal of fatigue I ascended 

 the peak, the morning very cold & damp Ob- 

 served nothing new ; the Hemlock & Spruce to- 

 wards the topareof a cripply growth being depress- 

 ed by heavy snows & cold air & very difficult to 

 come through My expectations being not an" 

 swered I soon descended & leturned to Ruttland. 



22. Seeing no other means of getting away 

 from here, than to contrive some way to get 

 money to go on with, & pay my reckoning here, 

 I with great reluctance sold my fowling piece 

 this day ; God knows whether the money will be 

 enough to bring me on but I must rough it 

 through as well as I can. 



23. This night I received at last & almost to 

 late a letter ; my mind has been made up to re- 

 turn as quick as possible to Philadelphia & I 

 will do it now, the letter notwithstanding. 



24. Left Rutland. 



25 Through Timouth to Battonkill 

 20 Arrived at Troy 



27. From Troy to Albany & Baltimore a 

 small landing place. 



28. Come to Cattskill 



29. When 1 came to Kingstown I took stage 

 to New York being to much tired to go on long, 

 er on foot. 



30 On the road to New York.
