if you send on in the spring and are still de-
termined to help us, we shall then have matters
regulated and will accept your offer

Brothers!
We have both been under the same diffi-
culty it is five years since the brethren were here
and I have heard no word, and finally concluded
that they had given up doing any thing, until
this letter came into my hands—we all thank
you heartily for not giving it up altogether. In
regard to the letter now before us, the chiefs at
Brown’s Town

are pleased and accept the offer, we
now leave it with our brethren if they conclude to
help us either to send us another letter, and give
us notice or send the things they propose, we wish
four pair of plow Irons at this place

Brethren!
If you see fit to send a letter this fall
or early in the spring, or to send on your things di-
rectly, we leave the matter with yourselves. In
regard to schools Brethren, by that time some of
our people will determine on the children, they
will send to school and what they shall study

The chiefs return you thanks that you have
not given over helping them and are now willing to
accept your offer, the ground of our accepting your offer
