12/13 I saw four Quakers this morning. We've been out to see Girard College, where they take care of orphans, and the man that built it, Mr.Stephen Girard, he wouldn't ever let any minister step inside it. Wasn't it funny in him? Fairmount is where they bring up the water from the Schuylkill river, to supply the city. There is machinery to force it up--great wheels and things. |
