Spring Place for the purpose of arresting him. These were met by Bishop and twenty five or thirty armed men - lines were formed and at the instant of fireing, Bishop with his hat off presented his gun and gave himself up. This is the last I have heard respecting the affray - I have mentioned to Mr. Butrick your wish for information respecting the manner in which the High Priest communicated intelligence to the different towns. Since you were here we have had another daughter added to our family, and Mrs. Butler's time has been much occupied; but she intends furnishing you a copy of the letter you requested. My sons go to New York for the purpose of receiving an education, through the kind invitation, and benevolence, of some christian friends. Rev.

When your account of the Cherokees appears please send me a copy of it
