This is the old standard work upon this subject, and is
still of great value, but must be used with the

On the 22nd we had a pretty large meeting at Southern Branch,
at the house of Robert Burgess. He was not a Friend by
profession, but a Justice of the Peace, and of good account
in these parts. There had never been a meeting there before;
yet the people were generally solid and several of them
tendered; and after the meeting the Justice and his wife were
very respectful, and treated us to beer and wine, and would
gladly have had us to have eaten with them and lodged in
their house that night, but being otherwise engaged in the
course of the service.

The next day [several days later] we had a meeting at
