stay here two years to try, by that time we shall know
whether Morris will leave us any Land & whether he
will pay us our money; for last Summer we sold
our Land & we dont know yet whether we shall
get what we reserved, or whether we shall get our
Money; but by that time we shall know, & then if
they like it, & we like it your young Men may stay longer.

Brothers,
If your young Men stay here we want them to
learn our children to read & write.

Brothers,
Two of you are going home again, if they
hear any thing about our Land, or our Money they
must write to these young Men here & they must tell
us, if we are like to be cheated.

Brothers,
This is all I got to say at present.

After they had closed this speech we informed them
that we understood what they had said to us, & that we
were satisfied with it, and proposed that our young
Men must have some place to live in, & a piece of land
to work, in order to set them an example, & to raise bread
for themselves to eat; but that the land should still
be theirs & all the improvements which we should put
on
