they bear to you there fellow Men, as Children of the great
Spirit, when they Desire to please, and who will be pleased
with the good they do to you, the Quakers and the good Men
they imploy will ask nothing from you, neither Land nor
Money Skins nor firs, for all the good they will render to
you, they will request only your consent and the attention
of the young Men and Boys, to Learn what will be so useful.
Brothers
If this first attempt Succeeds the way will be op-
ened, in which your young People may Learn other useful
practices of the white People, so as to enable them to supp-
ly all there own wants, and such as choose it, may learn
to read and write. Having thus explained to you
the plan of your friends the Quakers, I conclude with
heartily Recommending to your adoption as better
calculated to procure Lasting and essential benefits
to your Nations, than any plan ever before attem
pted, Wishing it great Success
