Corinth 5 chapter 1 verse. The works of the Lord go on here as well as on the Island. You that is covetous and want to hoard up money and grind the face of the poor, or sell them for a pair of shoes, do not come here, there is no room here for such people. How I pity them on the Island that would work and cannot get work, that they are not here to enjoy the blessings of this country, but I do not wish for any drunken men to come here. Land sells from 2 to 50 dol.
Canals are very numerous here and any thing can be carried very cheap from place to place.
English ploughs is of no use here but if any one will come let him bring two spades, a little wrought because if that new they will make you pay duty in New York. Any man that could set up a tanyard would be a fine thing. Sadler is a very good trade. Cooper is of little use, they make their coopering in factories, and a man will do as much work as ten coopers. Anyone that will come here to depend on his school, had better stop where he is there is no use for him here, the best gentlemen keeps his own accounts, and they would not have any of you for schoolmasters, their way of teaching is so different you could not manage the business.
