— I have been down to
Onohoquawge to get those Boys
Joſeph appointed to go down to School, but I could get none
of them.
Some ſaid they had too much Work to do and others ſaid
that I came away too ſoon and ſome
ſaid they will let their Chil
dren go Schooh there little while and then
y they'll ſend them: I
ſuppoſe they would ſend their Children if I waited two or three
Weeks; but I was unwilling to tarry ſo lo
o^n^g for the Gentlemen's
Motion.
—I have ſettled
Joseph Wooley with his Help a School
Maſter at
Onohoquawge, he is greatly belov'd there, it will
be beſt for
^him^ to return as ſoon as poſſible. He has done nothing there
worth mentioning beſides learning their Langu
^a^ge.— We heard
how he was ſettled
laſt Fall; I underſtood when
^I was^ down that there
^[left]was^ no ſuch thing mentioned.—
Mr
Kirtland is gone up to
Seneke Country again; he ſat out from this Place 24
th
inſtant
and with
^a^ heavy Heart: things go on contrary to
his Mind.—
I am greatly concernd about him. — He took my Horſe up with
him,
told he told me that
^he^
would bear all the Blame; for
he ſhould kill
d
himſelf if he carried all what he wanted up
on his Back. — I believe he will ſend the little Creature very
ſoon by those men whom
Sir William
ſent to fetch down
the
ir
Engliſh
Priſoners from that Place. I underſtood
ſo
^much^ about our Miniſters when I
^was^ down to
Onohoquawge, I think
it will not do for them to go together they must be Seperate:
one of them muſt come up here, and the other to
Onohoquawge,
If they ſhould go together from Place to Place their coming will
be to none affect: Becauſe they expect the Miniſters will ſettle &
tarry with them.— They are ſuspecious People, they'll ſoon
get ſomething another againſt them if they don't tarry
in one Place
^[illegible][guess: that] will^
ſtrike off all they Affections from them: If
the
iry loſe the Affections of these People it is over with
them.— I can't expreſs
myſelf by writing as I could
by talking.— I live like a Dog here. my Folks
are poor &
naſty, I
^eat^ with Dogs, for, they eat & drink out of the ſame as I do.—
— I ſhall need ten Dollars more. It would beſt for
Calvin to
come here. here is one pretty Town juſt by me
and good many Children. I muſt go down to
German
Flats to get Proviſion. after that I ſhall
ſet
^down^ to my
School. Here are great number of Children, but I
cant tell you how many Scholars I ſhall have. I
believe my ſinging School will exceed the other in
Number, I cant get but one boy here. — You will
know
ho why I could get
no more by the Speach I
ſend you.
Joseph Wooley is almoſt
nacked I am
obd
oblig'd to let him have one of my Shirts. —
