as there was no hurry about purchasing, that I should leave the Meeting, after he spoke, which he did at once, to the effect that they were not yet sufficiently honest to have Europeans among them; neither were they decided, prepared, or unanimous about the subject. The Island was now all in the name of the Europeans. Their talk was not, as far as he could judge, sufficiently matured. Therefore he would request me to leave them for this day; which I did, and went to Mr. King's to tea. Dined at Mrs. Grace's, and went out with Mr. Rich to see the country, from a hill about the flat, commanding a good view of 50,000 acres of good flat land. Tea and dance at Mr. Rich's, who seems well acquainted with the country, and farming, etc.
