"Remember me affectionately to Sebuk Ram and his wife, and to all the

"5th February 1810.--Were you hunting the buffalo, or did it charge you
without provocation? I advise you to abstain from hunting buffaloes or
other animals, because, though I think it lawful to kill noxious
animals, or to kill animals for food, yet the unnecessary killing of
animals, and especially the spending much time in the pursuit of them,

have required them to have kept from the Lord's table till Mr.
Fernandez's return, and to have left it to him to preside over the
discipline of the church. You, no doubt, did it without thinking of

Fernandez is wrong in treating you with coolness, when a little
conversation might have put everything to rights. Of that, however, I
shall say no more to you, but one of us shall write to him upon the
