not seen Brother Bailey since He
drove us over the Mountain. He
did not intend any harm but He
did not seem as well acquainted
with the road as He ought to have
been We were vary fortunate to
Escape as will as we did our wait
on the upper side is what kept it from
going over I was sorry to hear of
the sentence of such men as Carter Granger & Hardy put it the middel
you can we have to say the Devil
is in such Judges and they will go to
Prision & to Hell when their time
comes and it would be for 6 months
but at Least 1000 years we shall
soon have a change of some of the Judges
and hope of all I have No fear of anything
worse. I was also glad to hear of
