2nd We all had A tedious nights ride
About one dozen coaches was loaded down
with Passengers from Cumberland to Browns-
ville Mother, Betsey, And little Phebe were
all quite weary with there nights ride
Father And myself stood it quite well
Phebe would often speak of her Mother
And wanted to go home she did not like
to ride in the stage In passing A river
Phebe Asked me who Put the water
there I told Her God, she Asked me
who helped him & how he got it there
And several such curious questions many
persons seemed quite interested on the journey
in Phebe's conversation we arived At Brownsvill
at sundown & took steemer for Pittsburgh
Nearly all the berths were taken up we got
berths for Mother cousin Betsey And little
Phebe Father And myself lay together on the
bare floor Phebe had been with me nights
since I left Saco As she was some unwell at
times And I wished to take care of her
myself But to night as I was lying on the
floor I gave her in charge of her Grandmother
Woodruff but she seemed weary & restless
