[note (type: abstract): Occom details his travels throughout Long Island and New England, as well as his ordination and the events leading up to it. He takes his son Aaron to be raised by Wheelock.][note (type: handwriting): Handwriting is clear and legible. There are several uncrossed t’s and crossed l's, which the transcriber has corrected.][note (type: paper): Several small sheets folded into a booklet and bound with thread or twine are in good condition, with light staining and wear.][note (type: ink): Dark-brown.][note (type: noteworthy): When Occom mentions an “Indian Town,” or "Indian Place," he is likely referring to Indian villages associated with each place that he visits; specifics are uncertain and so these places have been left untagged. On five verso, the Latin exegesis translates to: "Whether a heathen/pagan who never hears the gospel, may obtain eternal salvation," or, in more colloquial Calvinist terms, "If a heathen never hears the gospel, can he be saved." An editor, likely 19th-century, has overwritten the journal in spots; these overwrites have not been transcribed.]
