Dear [& | and]&and [Revd | Rev.]RevdRev. Sir

I have been [liſtning | listening]liſtninglistening to hear of you for [ſome | some]ſomesome Time.
Have a Hint from the public prints of late that you are moving towards
Philadelphia[place0186.ocp], and from thence to embark for England[place0068.ocp] — I have [ſo | so]ſoso
many things to write that I [ſcarcely | scarcely]ſcarcelyscarcely know what to write or what to
omit. A full account of our Indian Affairs I cannot give you till
Providence allows an Interview — I [ſhould | should]ſhouldshould [eſteem | esteem]eſteemesteem it a great Favour
to act in concert with you if we could [underſtand | understand]underſtandunderstand one another.
Some things you dropped at New York[place0166.ocp] have made me a little fearful
that you had too readily admitted [ſome | some]ſomesome Objections of illegible[Oppoſers | opposers]Oppoſersopposers without
knowing fully what might be replied.
[Mr | Mr.]MrMr. Occom[pers0030.ocp] returned from New York[place0166.ocp] [laſt | last]laſtlast Fall into a
Fire which had been for [ſome | some]ſomesome Time enkindling. The [Conſequence | consequence]Conſequenceconsequence
of which was that the prejudices preconceived in the Mind of Brother
[J____t | Jewett]J____tJewett[pers0023.ocp] [aroſe | arose]aroſearose to an amazing Height — Clamours [ſpread | spread]ſpreadspread through the
Government[org0027.ocp], and [almoſt | almost]almoſtalmost every one [cryed | cried]cryedcried out [againſt | against]againſtagainst [Mr | Mr.]MrMr. Occom[pers0030.ocp]
as a very bad, [miſcheivous | mischievous]miſcheivousmischievous, and [deſigning | designing]deſigningdesigning Man. [Mr | Mr.]MrMr. [Jewet | Jewett]JewetJewett[pers0023.ocp] wrote
the [Commiſsioners | Commissioners]CommiſsionersCommissioners at [Boſton | Boston]BoſtonBoston[org0095.ocp], on which they withdrew the [Penſion | pension]Penſionpension you
procured for him. Our General [Aſsembly | Assembly]AſsemblyAssembly[org0027.ocp] was very warm, and on his
Account [refuſed | refused]refuſedrefused to [conſider | consider]conſiderconsider my Memorial for an Incorporation — and [Dr | Dr.]DrDr.
[Mr | Mr.]MrMr. [W---ms | Williams]W---msWilliams[pers0039.ocp] my Neighbour [ſeemed | seemed]ſeemedseemed to imbibe the [ſame | same]ſamesame Opinion of him.

he and the [Cauſe | cause]Cauſecause [ſo | so]ſoso [diſcredited | discredited]diſcrediteddiscredited, that none dare mention his Name

who expected a [Viſit | visit]Viſitvisit from him, grieved, [diſcouraged | discouraged]diſcourageddiscouraged, and
[expoſed | exposed]expoſedexposed to unhappy prejudices through his not coming to them. And
the [moſt | most]moſtmost favourable Opportunity we ever had or are ever like to
have, to recommend the [Deſign | design]Deſigndesign to the [ſachems | sachems]ſachemssachems abroad (which
was the principal [Deſign | design]Deſigndesign of his [Miſsion | mission]Miſsionmission) was [loſt | lost]loſtlost. And Nothing

[uſeleſs | useless]uſeleſsuseless in futuro if he had not been under this Board[org0034.ocp]. In
[theſe | these]theſethese [Circumſtances | circumstances]Circumſtancescircumstances, I thought that the Glory of God, the Reputation
of our Indian [Deſign | design]Deſigndesign and [eſpecially | especially]eſpeciallyespecially [Mr | Mr.]MrMr. Occom[pers0030.ocp]’s Good and [Uſeful­

Matters charged [againſt | against]againſtagainst him by public Fame might [publickly | publicly]publicklypublicly
appear; Accordingly I moved for it, and [Br | Brother]BrBrother [J---t | Jewett]J---tJewett[pers0023.ocp] [ſent | sent]ſentsent him his Alle­

Yet this Scene [ſhocking | shocking]ſhockingshocking as it has been, God has made to
appear to be in Favour of this [Deſign | design]Deſigndesign. [Mr | Mr.]MrMr. Occom[pers0030.ocp]’s coming back
