Description
Young writes to console and comfort his friend Finley. He is delighted that the Mission is prospering but very unhappy to hear that Finley has moments of doubt when he considers "giving up his parchments." These episodes are surely temptations of the Devil. Young expresses unhappiness again about the U.S. government advocacy of Indian removal to the west as a way of acquiring their land. "But they are men & perhaps are not scandalized enough by speculating on the poor creatures' lands!" Abstract Number - 877
