have dun for them they say that when we ware there
before we Desired them to speak freely as to Brothers
and now we tel you freely some of our wants which are
Many, but we do not wish you to do any more for us

then what you see and beleave will be for our good
their wants are sumed up, to be helpd to the means
and taught the arts of Husbandry & house keeping
