Dear Sir, I sometimes feel you may think I am taking too much upon myself
to say as much as I do respecting that noted article in the treaty. But I do it because I am confident that if that article is carried into effect, and the money paid and received according to it, a wound incurable will be inflicted, and a stain will be cast on the mission character, which millions of Dollars, and all the labours of your missionaries can never efface. In consequence of it, Mr. James Star, it seems, though a bowing? man in the treaty party, has taken measures to get a letter from Arkansas, signed by twelve persons, saying that they have now more missionaries there than they need, and therefore desire that no more may be sent. Nearly the whole, I presume, of the treaty party, together with all the rest of the nation are opposed to that article. Not because they are stingy; for many of them doubtless, would be willing individually, to support a mission family one or two years, without compensation. I will remember with what cheerfulness they supported my interpreter and myself and horse the year I was at Creek Path. tho with what delight.
