SW_HJ1806_Page_036

Brothers We are glad to meet you again in counsel &; to find that you and us are so much of one mind, about most of the things we have been speaking to you about. But we think there are a few things which you have not quite understood, &; we will now explain to you -- You mention that you wish to know what we will give those Boys we propose takeing to instruct -- You may understand that our friends will find them in victuals which with the instruc -tion they give them we think will be a sufficient compensation for all the benefit they will receive from them - You also enquire what we will give those Girls that go to our Women to learn to work -- These Girls are to find their own provisions, &; our friends will find them some wool and some flax &; instruct them how to spin it, &; assist them getting it made into cloth, &; that Cloth will be yours --
