very faithful in their undertaking. they gave us great
satisfaction, by their good behavour, we wish over to have
such useful Friends set by us; but it seems it is the
will of the good Spirit that Henry Simmons, must return
Home this fall, we feel sorry to think how we shall be
as it were Longsome in his absence, but we hope you
will encourage him to come see us again; and he is
able to inform you every particular relative the
welfare of the Tribes Living on this Country. farewell
