Brothers
We are glad to meet you again
in counsel & to find that you and us
are so much of one mind, about most
of the things we have been speaking to
you about. But we think there are
a few things which you have not quite
understood, & we will now explain to
you -- You mention that you wish to
know what we will give those Boys we
propose takeing to instruct -- You may
understand that our friends will find
them in victuals which with the instruc
-tion they give them we think will be
a sufficient compensation for all the
benefit they will receive from them -

You also enquire what we will
give those Girls that go to our Women
to learn to work -- These Girls are to
find their own provisions, & our friends
will find them some wool and some
flax & instruct them how to spin
it, & assist them getting it made into
cloth, & that Cloth will be yours --
