[Spun?], Some coarse linen & Some [vestments] for children and have given to Some children some warm clothes, but as yet [to?] few.; I expect some others shall come. I do not expect however to exceed [illegible] proceeds; for the vigorous [season] is almost over, & the Indians are mostly in the woods.

I have the honour to remain with Sincerity and regret
Your most humble and obedient Servant
