We left Springfield yesterday about nine oclock & came on to Chester about 22 miles from Spring d Patience & perseverance will get us to N C in time- but I fear we shall winter on our way there, for instead of four weeks, I fear we shall be four times four We found an excellent tavern here com- par'd with any we have yet found, & we had for the first time clean sheets to sleep in- We pass'd thro' Morristown yesterday, & 3. Small villages- one called Chatham I do not know the names of the others... It is very hilly in N Jersey, & what is very strange, we appear almost always to be going up hill, but like the squirrel, never rise 2 inches higher- The hills look very handsomely at a little distance, - but none of them are very high M r & M rs Wolcott, after telling us every thing dreadful, they could think of, began encouraging us by changing sides & relating the good as well as the bad- They are sure I shall like Warren better than I expect & think I shall not regret going in the least The weather yes- terday was very pleasant, & is this morning also- We wish to reach Easton to day, but I am sure we shall not, for it is 32 miles distant- 5 or 600 hundred miles appears like a short journey to me now- indeed I feel as if I could go almost any distance- My cour- age & spirits & both very good one week is already [12] A JOURNEY TO OHIO gone of the 4 I wish I could fly back to you a few minutes while we are waiting Mansfield-N J-Sat-morn October 27- We yesterday travell'd the worst road you can imagine- over mountains & thro' vallies- We have not I believe, had 20 rods of level ground the whole day- and the road some part of it so intolerably bad on every account, so rocky & so gullied, as to be almost impassable- 15 miles this side Morristown, we cross'd a mountain call'd Schyler or something like it- We walk'd up it, & M W told us it was a little like some of the mountains only not half so bad indeed every difficulty we meet with is compar'd to something worse that we have yet to expect- We found a house built in the heart of the mountain near some springs- in a romantic place- Whether the springs are medicinal or not, I do not know- but I suspect they are, & that the house is built for the accommodation of those who go to them- for no human creature, I am sure, would wish to live there- Opposite the house are stairs on the side of the mountain & a small house resembling a bathing house, at the head of them Soon after we cross'd the mountain, we took a wrong road, owing to the neglect of those whose duty it is to erect guide boards, & to some awkward directions given This gave us a great deal of trouble, for we were oblig'd in order to get right again, to go across a field where the stones were so large & so thick that we scarcely touch'd the ground the whole distance- At last the [13] A JOURNEY TO OHIO road seem'd to end in a hogs pen, but we found it possible to get round it, & once more found ourselves right again- We met very few people, yet the road seem'd to have been a great deal travelled- One young man came along & caus'd us some diversion, for he eyed us very closely & then enter'd into con- versation with M r W who was walking a little for- ward- He told him he should himself set out next week for Pittsburg- & we expect to see him again before we get there Erastus enquir'd the road of him & he said we must go the same way he did; so we follow'd on till we put up for the night; he walk- ing his horse all the way & looking back at the wag- gon- As soon as we came to the inn he sat on his horse at the door till he saw us all quietly seated in the house & then rode off- Which of us made a con- quest I know not, but I am sure one of us did We have pass'd thro' but 2 towns in N J- but several small villages- Dutch valley, between some high hills & the Mountain- Batestown, where we stopt to bait- Si some others- all too small to deserve a name- At last we stopt at Mansfield at an Inn kept by Philip fits (a little f).
