Shipley Camp, commences Aug 24 there were as I now remember but 5 tents, locatd about 100 ft in rear of the stand, the intervening space used by them for their religious exercises 
They confind themselves closely to their own grounds during the meeting, so much so that I did not see a colourd man within the Circle of the tents from the time of my arrival (Monday night) until after the riot on Thursday night following. I never saw better [[strikethrough]] saw be [[/strikethrough]] order on a Campground and but rarely have attended so successful a meeting 
I heard of no disturbance from a distance except that a colourd man had been maltreatd by some whites.
