Letters to Friends in Farmington. April 15. 1818 By A number of the Committee on Indian Concerns who were together Yesterday, and to whom your Letter of 3 mo. 4 was shown desired to say, that Your attention to the subject and the guarded care manifested was agreeable. It afforded satisfaction to hear that the Indians you visited at Tonywanta appeared to be in comfortable and improving circumstances. It was also noticed that you had agreed to expend for their benefit Fifty Dollars, authorized by a former Letter; and that you purpared to pay them another visit. Altho it is uncertain whether way will open for Our Committee hereafter to give attention to those Indians yet should you beleive the expenditure of the further Sum of Fifty Dollars would be particularly useful to them at the present time, you are authorized to apply it according- ly; and to draw for the money in the same way as before, or have it refunded in any other way that may suit you. We are your affectionate friends To &;c.
