I, however, drank the tea, and dreamed that it made me very sick.
I found it difficult to drive from my mind the unpleasant impression this dream had made upon it, but finally succeeded in doing so, attributing it to the many and malicious threatenings which had been made by Lewis and his associates.

They had boldly asserted, that "if I went to the States, I would never return alive," and several other threats equally malignant.
I, however, started with Mr.Nell for Rochester, where we made an effort to raise money to aid in defraying the expenses of the voyage, and succeeded in collecting about a hundred dollars.

From thence we passed on to Albany, where we fell in company with a number of Mr.Paul's friends, who appeared to be terribly indignant, and accused me of coming there to expose their friends,--Paul and Lewis.

We had some warm words and unpleasant conversation, after which they left me very unceremoniously, and appeared to be very angry.

A short time after, one of them returned, and in the most friendly manner invited me to his house to tea.
