We who have spoken with you are glad to see
you here, and rejoyce that, you
are come as messengers
of Peace.
We wish you to know, that there are many
of our bretheren called Quakers
settled in most of the
United States who are Lovers of Peace, and do not
meddle
with war, and we are very sorry, that there hath
been
any wars & bloodshed between you and the
people of the
United States, for we believe, that we
are all the Children of the same
Great Creator who
intended that, we should live in love and peace
with
each other; but when any of his children
get drunk, cheat, steal of hurt
& kill one another, he
is displeased with them, and when they will
not
regard his good Spirit placed in their hearts, there
they go into
all kind of wickedness, which brings
misery upon them, and they are not
afraid even to
destroy the lives which came from the hands of the
Great
Creator
But
