People that love money, and they know that you
love Whisky, and this is the way they take to
get your money and Property from you, but
if you keep to your resolution not to drink it
then there will be no danger, you will then
have money to buy Oxen and Plows to plow
your Ground and raise a great deal of Corn, and
to buy axes and Hoes and other useful Articles to
go to Farming with, and then when your Brothers
the Quakers see that you are trying to do good for
your selves, and makeing good use of your money
it will encourage them to help you more –

Brothers,

We desire you often to think upon the
Great Spirrit, and pray to him in your hearts,
and then he will shew you what is good, and what
is evil; and we want you to take up work like
the White people, for your land we think believe is
very good and will produce a great deal of Grain if
you are industrious, and when you get plenty of
Cattle, and Sheep, and Swine, they will afford you
plenty of meat, and be much easier taken than
the Elk, the Deer, & the Bear – Then will your
Old men, your Wives and your Children be
happy and enjoy the Comforts of Life, and
