purposes. We think this would make us
more Independent & Happy, and when we
are Dead our Children will have reason
to rejoice that we have followed your
Instructions.
Brothers--The Reason we have not made more
use of the Plow Irons you sent us is--we have
not had a sufficient number of Oxen, but we
are thankful you have sent them, as we
have now got a number of young oxen
growing up, & hope we shall be able
to use them more.
You observe we have got a great many
Horses & you think it will be better to
have more Cattle & Oxen. Your Remarks
on this subject are just, we have found
inconvenience from so many Horses, for
all the use they seem to be to us is to ride
about home, but when we have occasion
to go amongst White People, we find them
only a Bill of Expence.
Brothers--We are thankful for your
friendly advice. Our Hearts rejoice
