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
