"Wednesday, 11th.—We started pretty early, baited at Martin Keever's, and then rode on to Waynesville. This little town is situated on the western bank of the Little Miami. The lots are sold to none but actual settlers, and, though it was only settled last spring, about fourteen families are already here. They have the advantage of good air, good water and good land. They are also on an equality. Pride and slavery are equally strangers; industry is seen in all, and the consequences are, they are happy.
