took leave of us at the Credit, that we should pray for you and the Indians down in your quarter, and that you would pray for as. I have frequently heard the Indians pray for you that you might be successful in persuading both the white people and the poor Indians to become Christians, and I hope we have an interest in your prayers, that we may be faithful unto death. We intend returning home next week to winter at the Grand River, and in the Spring come down here again. A word of advice will be thankfully received.
I remain your unworthy friend,
PETER JONES, alias
Kahkewaquonaby.
To Rev. W. CASE.

The following letter is from Mr. Carey, the Munceytown School Teacher, shewing the progress of the work in that place:

Munceytown, October 22nd, 1825.
Dear Brother — This opportunity of writing to you by the hand of my father, I seize with pleasure, to inform you that my health is good, and my heart still bent to serve the cause of Christianity in this place. I have been disappointed in not getting up my house this winter, but I have nearly finished George Turkey's, and hope in a few days to be comfortable. Two young men came the other day and made application for attending the school; one from Big Bend, the other from Moravian Town.

Peter keeps steady. George Turkey appears in good earnest for the Kingdom of Heaven. All is peace here, and hopes are good.

* * * * * * * * * * My fellow citizens of the States, have sent me a good supply of books and stationery, and thanks be to God, I am better provided for than I expected to be in many respects.

What are your prospects amongst the Indians? What has become of the fine that went to your company from Tumeko's Tribe? are questions I want you to answer in your next, which do not fail to write as soon as you receive this. Remember me to your muchrespected father, your brother John, and little Johnny, and all that may enquire for me.
