Ment on deck and let there till I got home at
twelve clock and all my family glad to See me
Mr. Ingalls had been tow ours in waiting for me

August 22 at home I have Seene the goodness of god
in my journey to me and in the Sea, they that
go down to the Sea in Ships that do business in great
Maters

I had goodnight Sleep and the lord was with us
in prayr in the morn. I am resolve to Spend more
time in the Servises of my Savior; and try to live
more to Glory him, not that god Standeth in need of
my poor Efort, for all is a [?] rags

god has preserved them in my absence
I have had manny freinds to call to See me
Since my return home all glad to See me
