But if we pray to him for the help of his good Spirit
and feel it in our hearts, and attend to it, we learn to pity
those that the Evil Spirit makes unhappy, and we can do
good even to our Enemies.

We therefore much desire that, our Brothers of the Cherokee
Nation

may be brought more and more to the knowledge of
the Great Creator who is the father of all men, and that, as
his Children they may live in love and peace with each other, & with all Men;
And then we believe the Red People would not live so much by
hunting, but employ themselves in tilling the Ground, learning
useful trades, and get proper Schoolmasters to teach their
Children, that they might be brought to love & obey the
Great & Good Spirit who made them.

These Things we wish our brothers of the Cherokee
Nation

to think of, and above all to pray in their hearts
to the Great and Good Spirit for his help in all their honest
undertakings, that they may be happy in this life, and aftr
death, in an everlasting Eternity.

We desire these words from us your brothers may
take deep hold in your minds, and warm your hearts,
that, so you may be strengthened to tell them to the people
of
