New YorkDear Friend
I have been requested to write to thee
by the Committee of our Yearly Meeting on Indian
affairs
tion we can with respect to the Indian Tribes located
West of the Mississippi. Two friends of England Yearly Meetings
, have expressed a willingness
to visit these people on behalf of the concern of
their own and our Yearly Meeting, and our
Committee wish to gather all the information we
can, for their benefit and guidance.
Be so kind as to put down, at thy earliest
convenience, all such particulars
as thou may
feel a freedom to do, with respect to the most
eligible
route, mode of travelling, distances, &
and every item that would be
advantageous to
these Friends, even to the best kind of clothing to
suit the wear of the climate
and travel of the Far West. They
are two male
Friends, and I would mention their names, if
the matter
had progressed so far as for them to
lay the concern before their
respective meetings
As it is, it would not be proper now to make
public their concern until sanctioned by the proper
source.
I remain thy friend Mahlon Day
