Brothers,
We hope you will get things ready
soon, and that your young men will begin
soon in this business, for our friend dont
want to stay a great while here, only just
long enough to learn some of your young men
this good trade.

Brothers. You remember that two
years ago we proposed to you that some of your
young men, should work on the farm with
our friends, as apprentices, in order to learn
how to farm the ground like the white people,
so that they might raise a great deal of grain,
grass &c. off of your good land.

Now: brothers you know two years are gone,
and none of your young men are come for-
ward to work with our friends, as we pro-
posed, and we understand your young men
say, they can't get victuals to stick steadily
to their work: and therefore they cant do as
we proposed: we will now make you another
offer.

Brothers, if three or four of your sober
young men above the age of 16 years, will
come and work with our friends on the
farm, and stay with them 6 months, we
will agree to board and lodge them; they
must stick steadily to work 5 days in the
