Nov 26th
I recevived a letter from Br John
Taylor [FIGURE] I mailed the letter at the American Coffee
House which I wrote to Mrs Woodruff & the editors
of the Times & Seasons, which was the largest letter
I ever sent my wife. on my return from the Office
I called into an auction store whare they were
selling penknives, watches, time Peaces, which to
outward appearance were vary cheap but when
closely examined it was found they were made
on purpose for the auction sale, & the manner
the Cockneys or London Kawkers would cheat
men before their eyes is a caution to Yankies
{I purchased a card of knives and a time piece which cost me} 3 {dollars and I got cheated on both [illegible shorthand] [we] learn wisdom}
I preached at 8 o'clock & on my return to the
House I found Br Pitt who had returned from
Ipswich As Br Kington had sent for him, & when
he left Ipswich the people ware all stired, just as he
was going to Baptize several, some of the pamph-
lets were sent them which are Published against
us filled with lies which stoped them for a season
so he did not baptize any before he left we spent
the night together 4 [miles]
