Cloudy morning; we crossed a branch, landed, and walked over a rich swamp 2 or 300 yards wide, then came to cutting-grass, then palmetto for 100 yards, then to a pine-savannah of a vast extent, moist, and producing a great burthen of pretty good grass, knee-deep; we returned and rowed down the lake and river about 14 miles to Davis’s, against a strong wind, rain, and thunder, all wet and cold.
