feel in finding
you inclined to take hold of the
same tools which he takes
hold of, to receive from him
instruction in the cultivation
of your Lands and to
pursue the example he will set you
Brothers
We hope you will make the situation of
our
brother as comfortable as circumstances will admit
we hope
also, that many of your young men will be
willing to be
taught by him to use the plough, the
Hoe & other
implements of husbandry—for we are sure
brothers, that as
you take hold of such tools as
are in the hands of the white
People, that you will
find them to be to you like having
additional hands
you will also find brothers, that by using
them, they
will enable you to do many things which
without
them cannot be performed
Brothers
There is one thing more which we
wish to add,
your brothers the white people in order
to get their lands
cultivated find it necessary that
their young men should be
employed in it & not their
women. Women are less than
men, they are not as
able to endure fatigue as men. It is
the business of
our women to be employed in our houses, to
keep
them clean, to sew, to spin, to knit, to weave, to
dress
food for themselves and families, to make cloathes
for
the men and the rest of their families, to keep
the
cloathing of their families clean & to take care
of
their children
Brothers
We desire not to mention too
many things to you
but we must add a little further
