Brothers, We cant say a work against
you it is the best way to call quakers broth-
ers you never wished our lands you never
wished any part of our lands therefore
we are determined to try to learn your
ways and those young men may stay here
two years to try by that time we shall know
whether Morris will leave us any land
for last summer we sold our land and
we dont know yet whether we shall get
what we reserved or whether we shall get
our money but by that time we shall know
now and then if they like it and we like

Brothers. If your young men stay
here we want them to learn our children
to read and write.

Brothers. Two of you are going home
again, if they hear any thing about our
land. or our mony they must write to
