accepted of your kind offer and privilege in
your school Since I have
experienced so much of your kindness toward

my Nation I am
Thoroughly Convinced of
your great Friendship and kindness toward them and
that you would Contribute all in your Power if they could
be made Happy thereby and more especially to make them
Heirs of
everlasting salvation I have been greatly concerned
for the state of
my Nation both for
their spiritual and temporal
Interest and so Continue which has caused me to Labour under
many Sorrows
the Narragansett
Tribe whereunto I belong
are under many Difficult circumstances which is a great
hurt to their Religion I am fully persuaded that our —
minister and a Number of his People would willingly Change
their country for another where they could enjoy their
Religion there are many who Condemn our ministers
Religion and call it delusion but I would to God that we were
all
deluded by the same spirit as to their
moving to some
New Settlement I would not lead them Into anything without
their consideration your kindness In writing to the
Governor of new
Hampshire on our behalf has been exceeding
great which I
shall readily acquaint
our Tribe of the
Trouble
and expense I have been to the Dr. and his Family
has been much and their kindness so Great that I can not
express my thankfulness and would willingly reward them
for their Trouble if it were now in my Power notwithstanding
I have an undoubted Confidence of their reward in the
World to Come
