concern; the Tribes under our care have been
visited by some
of our number, and such attention
and assistance afforded them as
appeared to be
necessary. Having in former reports stated the
particular circumstances of the different Tribes, we do
not at this
time judge it necessary to repeat the same,
except that in addition
to our encouraging them in
the cultivation of their land, we have
suggested to
them the advantages that would probably result
from
their women's learning to spin and weave to provide
themselves with cloathing. In order to encourage
them in this very
useful undertaking, we have
furnished some of the Tribes with flax
& wool &
a number of wheels to make a beginning which
has succeeded beyond our expectation, and been a
means of inducing
some of them to raise these
articles for themselves
