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 [Burgess?] 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 home which is now nearly finished, it has been truely 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
