 Brothers Currie, Benhnm, Sunday, and the two Pauls from Grape Island behind to labour with the Indians in the vicinity of Penetanguishene who may visit that place. Thomas Magee, David Sawyer, John Thomas, and John Pigeon, returned home with me.

Thursday, July 1st. — This morning we heard of the arrival of Pahtosh and his people at the Narrows. Yellowhead requested me to wait as he had sent for them. The brethren told me of a woman from the north, being on Yellowhead's Island, who had killed and eaten her husband in time of great hunger, and after this transaction, she had to flee from her country and came to this quarter, where she has been wandering about as an outcast and a fugitive. The Christian Indians were so disgusted with the crime of eating human flesh, that they will not have anything to do with her, but think it is no more than right that she should die.

Monday 5th. — Rode down to York this morning, and there met with my Brethren. I wrote two letters to Brother Case, and sent them by Brothers John Pigeon, J. Snowstorm, and John Lake, who are on their way home for Grape Island. Rode home to the Credit this afternoon, and found all our friends in tolerable health.

Wednesday 21st. — In the morning Brother John Sunday and John Paul arrived in town from Penetanguishene, and brought good news of a number of Indians from Green Bay, and from the vicinity of Mackinaw, having experienced and gone home rejoicing in their hearts. The number they thought was about 20 adults. Brother Sunday and Paul have agreed to pay them a visit this summer, and are now on their way.

Saturday 24th. — At about 7 o'clock in the morning, sister Barnes with three ladies and a girl, arrived from New York. Our hearts were very glad to see our friends return in health
