                                 Wheeling  6 Moth  28th  1811
	Dear Charity   we were much grieved and I can very feeling
	ly sympathized with thee on hearing of the sad return
	of thy old complaint well knowing how much it costs to
	repair a broken constitution, but from a belief that afflic-
	tion cometh not forth of the dust I have in some measure
	felt myself resigned tether to sickness or health not doubt-
        -ing the design is good if on my part it is not rendered
        frustrate.---The day we received thy letter we were about
        to leave home for the Beaver Country to attend the quarter-
        ly meeting at Salem  I found the journey so fatiguing it was
        with much difficulty I was enabled to sit the meeting  it 
        was large and the most important subject before it was
        a request that had been previously agitated for a division
        of Baltimore Yearly meeting.  The meeting united with the
        report of the committees from the several quarter in favour
        of its being forwarded I consider it a very important
        step and do hope good and faithful friends will be
        named to inspect into our fitness for such a consignment
