will be willing to give you to begin with

Brothers,
We are glad to observe you have
made such good roads in many places
along this River - this makes it com-
frotable traveling and opens a way for you
to get your Grain to the Mill -- We are
satisfied with the proposals our friends
have made to you with respect to grind-
ing your grain and sawing your
boards but we think it will be necessary
for them to take toll after the time
they propos'd to you, and it would be a
satisfaction both to our friends and us
if you would not bring your Grain
to the Mill on the first day of the
week as your friends the Quakers do not
wish to be interrupted in the time of
their Meeting or work on that day
