Samson Occom letter (#TF 571)
Woah -- very harsh letter saying that if Wheelock wants a visit from them, he will have to fund their travel, including horses, because he and David/Jacob Fowler and Joseph Johnson have ruined their constitutions traveling on foot for "the Cause." Also gives Wheelock the news that the Oneidas will accept them and that this plan is supported by William Johnson. Says that they will travel to check out the land this summer.
Eleazar WIlliams (#TF 572) hopes that the education of Adam Price of Canada will prove "useful to his nation."
Stopped at #TF 573, Eleazar Williams papers, Box 2 folder 14 (continue transcribing at "A letter of the Chiefs")
