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
risked all my estate — The Plan is such that all the Benefit
done or proposed to be done to the English is subservient 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 — haven't you Seen my late
Narrative — You may have one at
Hartford if you
will Send, and in that be informed what I have been
and now am about — My Heart is broken and Spirits Some
‐times almost
overwhelmed 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 believe 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.
St. 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]od alone and my work
is with him — I had this winter the very melancholy
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 and
Mrs. Occom
