Reverend Sir
You will See what
Mr. Buell has wrote to you,— I extremely
want one of your Negroes and a Yoke
of oxen,—my business is crowding, and I
want to dispatch it as fast as I can,—pray
let me have a Yoke of oxen, if you cant
Spare a Negro — I came home but the
night before last,—I Shall keep Jacob a few
Days to help me, In utmost haste from
your unworthy
Servant
Samson Occom
