My dear Sir_
The bearers are Indian Representatives about to visit Halifax to obtain their annual dole of blankets_ There are at Minudie & on the Parrsboro Road eleven or twelve families numbering forty-eight souls of which twenty nine are adults, the rest - young children - If you can get some strong white cloth to make some of the men coats it will be very acceptable. Pray exert yourself on their behalf it is a work of mercy
