about four years. There are thirty scholars in school. Twenty six Cherokee girls besides myself. Three white girls. My parents live seven miles from this place. They both belong to the church, and my father was a warrier and did not think so much about the education of his children. Now he is very anxious to have his children learn. He is an elder of this church and an interpreter for preachers. I have 2 brothers who think the Lord is their friend. One united with the church last summer whose name is Samuel Wocester and WIlliam Reece who expects to unite with the church our next communion which will be in the 3rd sabbath in May. I have heard what the situation of the Indians of the country was nearly 2 hundred years ago and how good people went to teach them and labouring among them and after they had laboured there some of them became unclear and helped them in preaching. At this present times I expect this among christian indians. I have also heard of Mr Magham missionary to Martha Vineyard. There were such a great numbers of Indians that he could not teach them all. And he went far more help and the respect was lost so he was never heard of again. Then his father who was seventy years old became a missionary and learned the Indian language. I should like to have you write to me. Please to excuse my mistakes. From your unworthy friend, Sally M Reece. Young ladies in society.
