Creek, with satisfactory evidence; that I have left nothing
behind me, undone. We have pass'd thro half Moon Vally
good improvements, and fine fertile fields on each side of us
the Clover luxuriently growing. We could frequently
see 3 or 4 fields at a time lying beautifully level. We
next pass'd thro Warrier mark Valley, equally rich but
less in width, the bald Eagle mountain on our right
hand, again rode many hundrend yards on the banks
of Juniata where stand more Iron Works, two we
have pass'd in this afternoons ride* of 12 miles, to the
House of Elisha Davis, living in Tuckahoe Vally, beside
the Bald Eagl mountain. We have seen this evening
a Stream issuing from the Allegany mountain, about
3 miles from its fountain, which works a saw mill within
80 or 100 yards of Elisha Davis's door, that sinks among
a bed of rocks and is seen no more, but is supposed to have
found its way into some of the larger Streams, several of
them we have cross'd this evening, in our 12 miles ride
