The minister here thinks him a Papist, and a Jesuit, especially as he hath not called upon him, nor been to the meeting.

He goes soon to Pemaquid, to take charge of that fort and trading station, which have greatly suffered by the war.
September 30.
Yesterday, Cousin Polly and myself, with young Mr.Jordan, went up to the top of the mountain, which is some miles from the harbor.

It is not hard to climb in respect to steepness, but it is so tangled with bushes and vines, that one can scarce break through them.

The open places were yellow with golden-rods, and the pale asters were plenty in the shade, and by the side of the brooks, that with pleasing noise did leap down the hill.

When we got upon the top, which is bare and rocky, we had a fair view of the coast, with its many windings and its islands, from the Cape Ann, near Boston, to the Cape Elizabeth, near Casco, the Piscataqua and Agamenticus rivers; and away in the northwest we could see the peaks of mountains looking like summer clouds or banks of gray fog.
