On 28 July at eight o’clock I returned by stage to Philadelphia. It was a very hot day and the dust blew fiercely. In some areas the crops were being harvested. Some of the oats were ripe; the buckwheat was still small. The corn was tall and sturdy. Hay and grain were being brought into the barns. In the wooded regions, we again saw very beautiful birds, and here, in addition, I noted solitarily built schoolhouses in several wooded areas where people live very far apart. For this reason the schoolhouses have been placed approximately in the centers of this scattered population, and here one travels past one of these, which is octagonal, low, and has one floor. It is surrounded by woods on all sides. 
In the evening, about six o’clock, I reached Philadelphia at the same time as Mr. Bodmer and Dreidoppel arrived from Bordentown by steamboat. The night was so warm that we could hardly sleep in the small rooms.
