spoke of 3 or 4 men ^[full hands?]^ after a few months instinction were
fitted and amply qualified to take charge of several perhap
2 or 3 hundred acres aprice and were going on in a very
satisfactory manner Last spring it was thought that to
send teachers was the greatest need and accordingly
schools were commenced [illegible] there are many ^more^ who want
to got to school and we have been trying for some time to raise
sufficient to send 2 teachers ^from Westbury^ one from[e?] [Manhasset?] which will be
3 I believe we shall do this in addition to our sewing which
a few of us are earnestly engaged in about the first of the
year we sent a very large box 250 garments and have [illegible]
collection ready to go soon E P [Willets?] and self bought goods
recently amounting to 268 shall probably send a part of them

yesterday was our sewing day we generally have from
8 to 15 who ^sew^ seldom the last [no?] I think it strange so few

is so much evidence of the need of restraint as there is in
her case it is the husbands duty to place her in a position
where she can be cared for and presented from spending I
might say squandering the earnings which may all be needed
at the top upside down: Amys act of the trial was
interesting to us as I had often wondered how N had resulted she need not
fear being too [illegible]
