Counsels are true Men. So we believe that you are
also our true Sisters in the Lord. therefore
we think you would be willing to hear from us,
who tho’ are poor People (commonly called, by many
white people Squaws) we are rejoiced to find that
Friends have such Love which makes no distin-
ction. Sisters, We have religious Mee-
tings twice in every Week to Seek after the ways
of the good Spirit, and have at times been comfo-
rted by him who searcheth all the Hearts.

Although we never have seen any of you,
yet let us join hand in hand to serve the Lord Almighty,
who is able to put such weapon on our
minds to withstand all the Temptations of the
Evil one. and that we may be able to hold out
to the end, where we shall join to praise our
Saviour to all Eternity. Farewell.

Signed
