who for sometime resided with the Indians there, with
aview of extending their services farther westward -
As those Indians are now left by Friends, who have
at a considerable expence helped them with Farming
Utensils, and assissted them in erecting Mills and
other improvements, their labour may in some degree
be lost, unless attended by friends of this Yearly Meet.g
and as those Tribes are much more convenient to us,
the Committee are desirous they may claim the
sympathy & attention to friends - all which is
submitted -
