Answer to the foregoing:
| Mission House, Grand River, Dec. 28th, 1825. |
| Dear Brother, — Yesterday I received your letter of the 14th inst., and in answer, inform you that it gave me much satisfaction to hear from you, and of the opening prospects of doing the Indian tribes good in your District. I intend to visit you (if it be the will of Providence,) some time in February, that I may meet your wishes. I will endeavour to be down at one of your quarterly meetings. |
| With gratitude to Almighty God, I inform you that the work of reformation is still progressing. About twenty-four have joined us since the Conference, — seven Mohawks and seventeen Ojebways; but as I suppose Mr. Torry corresponds with you, it will be needless for me to enter into particulars. As to the boy who came from York to school, he has not attended since we came from the Credit, but tells me he intends to go to school after he gets settled: he is shortly to be married. |
| I hope, dear brother, we have an interest in your prayers, that the Lord may prosper His work amongst us, and that we may hold fast the beginning of our confidence in the Saviour. I have had many inward trials of late, but I trust the Lord has brought me out of them all. O pray for me, that I may be strong in the Lord, and that I may be humble! |
| I conclude, by wishing you much success in your labours, and that there may be an ingathering of souls unto Shiloh. |
| I am your unworthy friend and brother, |
| PETER JONES. |
| To the Rev. W. Case. |
