They landed in Virginia and traveled overland, visiting the important Quaker meetings along the way. The journal includes references to all places visited, including Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire. Webb mentioned the names of many Friends and discusses her religious feelings and inspiration. Although there is some detail on the problems of travel there is little descriptive material on the colonies or the mode of life which then prevailed. Mary Rogers, her companion, went on a separate mission to the West Indies (where she died in 1699) while the two women were at Burlington, N.J. The latter portion of the journal describes Webb's visit to the James River country in Virginia and neighboring areas of North Carolina before she returned to England.
