Dear friends
We have had no accounts from
you since your letter of the 4th mo. 13th
which
accompanied the Articles you sent us, all of
which we received
agreeably to the Invoice en
closed. We feel solicitous in the
prosecution
of our present engagement to be preserved under
the
direction of best wisdom, and also to act agree
ably to your council; yet
upon serious delibera
tion on the Subject you propos'd of the Indians
sending their Children to our village to be
instructed in School Learning
we are again
free to suggest to you that we believe it will
afford the
most general satisfaction, & be most
advantageous to the Indians for
the School
to be kept at the lower village, while three suita
ble
persons are stationed in this quarter, as
the Children are mostly there and
but little
hopes of them comeing nearer to us – But
the prospect of
one of us returning this Fall will
probably prevent the School being kept at
