Beyond Penn's Treaty

A brief Account of the Proceedings of the Committee Appointed by the Yearly Meeting of Friends held in Baltimore

Page out of 47

THE Editor regrets that, in the letter
from the American General, printed at the close
of the Account from Pennsylvania

, a few lines
were suffered to remain, which convey a cen-
sure on some former American missionaries. It
may have not been perfectly easy for a person in
a very different walk of life to feel exactly the
difficulties of their situation. Whoever duly
weighs the state of the Indians, may account for
their want of success without thinking them
much to blame. At any rate the Editor is dis-
posed to call it an oversight, that in a work
intended to show the successful diligence of one
set of men, there should have slipped in a need-
less censure of another.
