 Monday 28th. — Took stage for Toronto, where we arrived at about 2, Here I met my dear newish, and our hearts rejoiced together in the mercy of our God. Found the cholera had been raging in this city for several days.

Tuesday 29th. — Went home to the Credit this day. Found all well. Thanks be unto God!

Friday, August 22nd. — By the request of Mr. Stinson, I set out, accompanied by Mrs. Jones, for Grand River Mission, and from thence to the Munceytown Mission. Before we reached Wellington Square one of the axle-trees of our little waggon broke, and we were obliged to walk.

Had some difficulty to find our way, on account of the rain and darkness of the night; but the Lord safely brought us to the Mission house. Found our Mohawk brethren assembled at the Chapel. The Rev. Mr. Douse was preaching to the Indians through an interpreter. Lodged with the Mission family. The cholera is making great havoc among the Grand River Indians.

Wednesday 27th. — After breakfast we left father's, and proceeded on for the Munceytown Mission.
