Loving Friend [?] near Fort Frederick ye. 12th 2mo 1769 As the Wagoneer that had agree'd to take y.e last of y.e Goods was to have come to receive them last Six Day, & that Day & night Rain'd so __ sucessively here that I expected him not to have come till Seven Day but is not come yet. I got my horse saddle on y.e First Day in order to go by Virginia in Quest of him but my Horse remains so Lame since I was at Winches -ter that I thought of leaving him in Virginia & Getting another at some _rate, but as I expect I can get him along in this side, to Cumberland it being so much nigher [?] go I should proceed as soon as y.e higth of y.e Creeks will [admit] which will not be before tomorrow by all accounts here I intend to vet off y.e nighest way in hopes by going easy my Horse will hold its & save it. [?] Imploying another & in case I went to see this waggoner who lived in y.e other side of Winchester time would not [adonid] mos to come come back here to Lead him & go with him into Virginia to buy some corn & oaths which I was to have done by Samuels Orders in this disappointment & Samuels Absence being gone after Hinton I think it my best method to get to Cumberland to receive y.e Goods from y.e waggons already Gone as soon as possible. Gen Clark has signed a lease of y.e [?] there & I have [?] Letter to y.e officer which is Cpt. Parise & road to pass & especially as I must be one night in y.e woods & may happen to strike up my fire near some of y.e Places where y.e murders was comitted as they talk of Several such places on y.e Road, but I tell them that I apprehend more cause of being affraid of y.e licing than y.e dead, in thire sense of it, but in Case we could firm y.e stay our Love & fear on y.e Almighty being, we need not much fear either of them, & as I have done neither, any hurt I expect none frome y.e poor dead
