Saturday 30th September 1848 Again we proceeded through the rain passing through Huntersville crossing the bridge over "Napes Creek", from thence taking the Greenbier road crossing the Greenbrier River and traveled on a few miles when we came in contact with a yellow jacket nest, which caused us some trouble in getting by, as they stung the carriage horses and cause them to take fright, but fortunately we met with no serious injury. Getting refreshed we proceeded about 3 miles. Elizabeth and myself riding along in the buggy when unfortunately it upset and threw Elizabeth down a hill 10 feet perpendicular, but escaped all injury except her arm being slightly injured. We proceeded 5 miles further then put up for the night at a small village called "Cuckleys Town", with the family of "Albemarle(ck)" , a very fashionable family. Sunday 1st October 1848 Sunday morning we proceeded on our journey seeing "Mr. Sutton/Luston" and being accompanied to our carriage by Mr. Solomon and old acquaintances by character. We had not traveled over 3 miles when we met with an intimate acquaintances, "John Wallace/Mollow". We had a day of adventure for we had not proceeded far before our carriage springs broke. But fortunately we soon reached the Greenbrier Academy, where we met with very obliging people who soon had it all mended and replaced, on the Sabbath, as it was. The ox had fallen in the creek, but was fortunate enough to get out and again renewed our journey crossing by a large brick church, where the Presbyterians were engaged in public worship. At that time the road on which we were traveling was very muddy, consequently we could not pursue our journey with speed. About dark we arrived at "Mr. Eavins", a dear relations of Mr. Andersons and lived quite near "Flora Cowasden". Monday 2nd October 1848 Still raining and has been for the last three days, But we still pursued our journey, throughout the County of Greenbrier. Crossed the river at a mill on the bridge from thence through Frankfort a considerable village 2 miles beyond we put up for the night with "Mr. Bright" where we were very hospitably entertained and on our leave of his lady was presented with a fine "can" of after bitters by him. I would advise the Pendleton Gentlemen of my acquaintances, if it is not too late, to visit this family as it would be profitable if they could fascinate young Miss Bright, who is a charming lady of sixteen summers.
