I must write again for that
Money. I sent for last Year. I think you
did not deal justly with me.— For those things
which
Mr. Kirtland had of me were my
own procuring, some I got by the Money
which
Mr.
Wheelock gave me. Now I al‐
ways thought whatsoever you gave me were
never to be recalled again; because I have
heard you
say many times, to give Gifts is
like casting them into the Sea; But my
things came to me a little harder, for I suffered
Hunger, Cold, Heat, and weariness, for them. —
— Pray Sir, consider a little what I have
done for
Mr.
Kirtland, I helped to build his
house and cleared two Fields all this
work I give him freely, as you would give
a meal of Victuals
to a perishing man.
Reverend Sir, Dont fail of getting
Money and send it down to
Sister Occom. if
you dont allow me but three Pound I shall
be glad of it because I shall be troubled
if I dont get the Money. I should not feel
so
distressed
if I had not been sick
so long. I was
confined ten Weeks by sickness, and after I
got about a little,
Fathers Wigwam was
burnt into ashes and all their household Stuff
were consumed in it also all our things saving
only our best
clothing
I have nothing new to
acquaint
you with, I shall
be glad to hear of
your
School also of
you and your Family, I write in utmost
haste for my company are waiting,
