Dear brother, 

To evince the continuance of my affection
& regard for you I embrace the present opportunity of
sending you a few lines more per favor of captain
Buyers of the Margaret, who arrived here on the 6th
from the S.W. coast of America & is to sail today
for P. Jackson. Since I last wrote you, we
have been busily employed at our new house
which is now nearly finished, it has been true-
ly a weighty piece of work. we have got our
garden in good order & have plenty of vegetables:
our cabbage is remarkably good, but we fear they
& other things will not seed in this country. Brother
Nott the sabbath following the departure of the
Porpoise commenced speaking publicly to the
natives, as I informed you he intended, & hath
since continued this exercise every sabbath.
Mr Jefferson has also begun to address them & Mr.
Eyre to catechise. The people are not near as willing
