I thought my dear ſir, you had fully known my Object
to be the Indians which has been invariably
the Same from
the firſt. They are also the firſt object in the Charter. Theſe
Lands are all given for that purpoſe, and will be so used
for them So long as there Shall be indians upon
the
continent to partake of the Benefit — I have not taken
a Step nor
Struck a Stroke Since I have been here but with
that view — In that Cauſe I am worn out, and have now
riſqued all my Eſtate — The Plan i
ns ſuch that all the Benefit
done or propoſed to be done to the Engliſh is Subſerviant in
the B
[gap: tear][guess: eſ]t Manner to the Indian Cauſe; and greatly adds to
and increaſes my Ability to help the Indians and that many
ways, inſomuch that I hope in God to be able to Support
an Hundred Indians and Youths deſigned for Indian ſervice
on Charity in a little Time — han
dt you Seen my late
Narrative — You may have one at
Hartford if you
will Send, and in that be informd what I have been
& now am about — My Heart is broken & Spirits Some
‐times almoſt
overwhelmd with the Behavior of Some I have
taken unwearied pains for — perhaps
God intends to waft
them away from this Land — but however that may be
my Reſolution yet continues to follow them with my Endea
‐vors for them
as Long as I live, and I beleive in ſo doing
I am unto God a Sweet Savor of Chriſt, though they
all periſh after all that can be done to Save them.
ſ.t Johns next Spring — I have Sent for 20 from
Canada — I expect Some from other
Quarters also in
the Spring — My Hope is in
[illegible][guess: g][illegible][guess: G]od alone & my work
is with him — I had this winter the very meloncholly
account of your Son
Aarons Death
— I Sympathize
with you in it and pray God to Sanctify it to you
and
Yours — Accept my Love to You &
Mrs Occom
