Wednesday 3rd. — Early in the morning I met my Indian brethren, and addressed them on the importance of vigilant watching and constant praying. I appointed to meet the pagan Indians on the Point this day at noon at the council house. In the afternoon we bade farewell to the kind Mission family, rode out to the Back Street, where we arrived before sunset, and lodged with Mr. Stafford for the night. I trust our visit to the Mission has been of some profit to the poor Indians.

Friday 5th. — We left Brother B.'s about noon, and went to the Camp ground, where we found scarcely any person except the Indian brethren from Munceytown. The Rev. W. Ryerson arrived on the ground about the time we came. He is the Presiding Elder of this District.

Wednesday, October 15th. — About noon I left the Credit for the Saugeen Mission, via Goderich.
