29. OF A LETTER FROM A GENTLEMAN, TO HIS FRIEND IN BALTIMORE, BOURBON-COUNTY, AUGUST 7, 1801.

"My dear friend,

"I am on my way to one of the greatest meetings of the kind perhaps ever known; it is on a sacramental occasion. Religion has got to such a height here, that people attend from a great distance; on this occasion I doubt not but there will be 10,000 people, and perhaps 500 waggons. The people encamp on the ground, and continue praising God, day and night, for one whole week before they break up."
