^13^ I furnished the Editor of the American with
an account of the accident.
I visited Br Ezra Carter & his family I
wrote 2 letters one to the Editor of the
Boston Bee giving an account of the accident
& one to Elder Taylor with an account of the
accident & sent him 10 subscribers for the
papers & wrote a few words to Phebe.
I had an interview with Aunt Judith Carter
the first time I had seen her. I visited Ezra store
he is doing a good deal of business
I walked out to scarborough in the evening
& at arived at Father Carters in the evening
with blistered feet I came upon Mother so
sudden who was walking across the room
with a candle that she was as much surprised
as though I had rained down, the first salutat[io]n
was whare did you come from. I soon had hold of
Fabyan hand & his wife's Moother looked well I
dont see that she grows old any. Father and Sarah
Foss are at New York I cannot see them yet
After conversing with Mother & Fabyan untill
abot 9 oclok I prayed with them & Mother
lighted me to a bed in the front chamber whare
I spent the night alone, the first night I had
spent at Father Carters without Phebe being
with me, & I would have given ten dollars to
have had her with me on this occasion for
I felt lonely like a dove without its mate
But however after kneeling down by the
bed & praying for her & the children & our
friends I lay down upon the bed & soon fell
asleep & had a good nights rest
the whole distance of the day from Boston
to Scarbororough 110 miles
