The Country hilly and of a fertile soil and had I money, would wish to spend the rimainder [sic] of my days in that part of the Country… I would wish to give you an Idea of Wilmington tis situated near the mouth of Christien [Christina] river, on a beautifull Emminence [sic] which afordes [sic] a most delightfull [sic] prospect down the Dellaware [sic]. In that place I spent three days at Capt Winders but found the people very unsotiable [sic] and the reason assigned to their being Quakers."
