<p>Williamsburg Oct<sup>o</sup> 5<sup>th</sup>. 1849.</p>
<p>My dear Sir. I had quite a time of it, the<br />day I left your House, the Rain pour'd<br />down and the Wind blew tremendously before<br />I arrived at the Ferry - found the Boat<br />and hands on this Shore and the ferry<br />Keeper not at home - his Wife utterly<br />refused to make any effort, and said<br />it was impossible to set me over<br />the River. I went down on the beach<br />and arranged for $1.50 my own passage<br />and had quite a rough time of it, but<br />got safely over myself leaving my Horse<br />and Gig on your Shore and had to<br />send after them the next day. As<br />it was, I attended the Funeral, according<br />to promise and came up to this place<br />late in the Evening - found all well,<br />except the loss of a Beef, stolen in<br />my absence, a part of which had been<br />found before my return in one of<br />the Negro Cabbins of Doctor Waller. So</p>
<p>[Page 2]</p>
<p>you see what with Ferriages going &<br />returning, House feed, loss of Beef <sup>&c</sup>. I had<br />quite a profitable Trip of it.</p>
<p>As yet, I have not heard any thing<br />from the Division at King & Queen<br />but expect to go on the 27<sup>th</sup> according</p>
to the arrangement between us - that<br />is to say, I will cross over to Shelly, not<br />Catlet's, on Friday 26<sup>th</sup> after breakfast<br />so as to be with you at Dinner &<br />will preach at Night, if desired,<br />and the Lord permit.
<p>Waller and Slater have lately disagreed,<br />as I understand, and Slater has his Ferry<br />now located at Saunders's and from<br />thence over to shelly or some where<br />in that Vicinity. Be that as it<br />may, I have seen him, and he has<br />promised that on Tomorrow he will<br />safely deliver to your Man at Shelly<br />the Wheat I promised to send you / Ten<br />Bushels /and my Overseer has had my<br />directions to see that it be sent accordingly.</p>
<p>[Page 3]</p>
<p>On yesterday I baptized One Gentleman<br />and two Ladies at the Grove Wharf - from<br />thence we repaired to Cheese Cake and<br />there Constituted (with the aid of<br />Doctor Martin and Bishop Amory)<br />Mount Calvary Baptist Church consisting<br />of seven Gentlemen and Nine Ladies.<br />I was unanimously elected their Pastor<br />so that my Labors are not likely to<br />diminish in this region of Country while<br />I remain at this place.</p>
<p>I hope, most sincerely, that you<br />will by some means or other be en<br />-abled to secure the valuable services of<br />that good brother sent you by the<br />Association and that the Course of the<br />Gloucester Baptist's will be Onward<br />and Upward.</p>
<p>With kindest Love to all, I am,<br />faithfully yours<br />In the best bond<br />S Jones</p>
<p>If the Lord permit,<br />I shall have quite<br />a baptizing on<br />Sunday - and on<br />Monday, I expect to leave home for the Association.</p>
<p>Some 8 or 9 Students, including those of this place, are all that have yet arrived -<br />The College will open on Monday - Professor Washington is with me -<br />He would not be denied and his Name got him here. Others I refused.</p>
