INDIAN  FRIENDS  AT  STOCKBRIDGE  24I

Praying  that  your  Honors  would  Consider  us — they  of  the  State  to  which
we  formerly  belong'd  and  were  particularly  our  Brethren  from  whom  we
have  heretofore  received  many  favours — we  have  twenty  two  Childrun
which  we  are  exceedingly  desirous  Should  be  instructed  the  insuing  year —
and  Should  be  thankfull  for  Simon  even  three  Months  Schoolling — as  we
Shall  all  reside  in  the  neighborhood  of  Stockbridge  till  these  troubles  be
over — we  therefore  would  earnestly  pray  them  to  encourage  Daniel  Simon
our  Brother  by  donation  or  any  other  way,  therefore  we  have  made
known  our  request  wishing  the  Healths  and  Prosperity  of  your  own  Per-
sons—which we  will  ever  pray
