Abstract:
Missionary at the Carey Mission, a Baptist institution for Potawatomi. Awaiting news about government plans for Indian removal, over which she has conflicted feelings. Believes removal could be beneficial if alcohol was prohibited and unscrupulous white settlers kept at a distance. "... here they are surrounded by those who are taking the advantage of them in every way and selling to them the poisonous draught in abundance but there I hope they will be beyond their reach." Inquiring after acquaintances in New Hampshire. Religious reflections inspired by reading a letter from the Watchmen newspaper. "We have had 8 of the indian children with us through the winter and expect they will remain with us untill we remove west."
