Grand Children
I also clense your Ears that you may he-
re planely and strengthen your Tongue, that your may
be enabled to speak the things which are profitable to your
nation, both temporally & Spiritually, Likewise I Let your
heart uprite that you may be capable of Contemplating
the real welfare & hapiness of your old Men Women & Children

Grand Children, attend
By these strings you renew the kind
invitation which you gave us when we saw each other in
Philadelphia, I think it needless to repeat the same, but
for which we again thank you.

Grand Children, now attend to the words of your Grand-father
Be it known unto you that we have deeply
considered your invitation and have found it sincere, Like
wise your dish a Lasting good one and your path good and
straight, we therefore accept of your invitation and
lay hold of it with both off our hands, hoping that the
Great Good Spirit may protect and enable us to pro-
mote each others welfare and happiness, and to Live
and die with you by the side of your fire place.
