Crocks overtook me, and in the liasto and per- 

 tiiibation iu which I was hurriod out of the 

 uation I foij;ot to carry any copies of my works 

 with me. But my labors tlioro during the few 

 years I spent on that field have been warmly and 

 gratefully acknowlcdgod by those who have 

 succeeded me.

Captain David Folsom was the sou of Na- 

 thaniel Folsom, a white man, by a Choctaw 

 woman. Before the commencement of the 

 mission, in 1818, he had gone to the State of 

 Tennessee, I believe, and there had attended 

 school six months. On his rituru he found his 

 peojile still living without chains, tables, or 

 other furniture, as ho had left them. Ills first 

 impulse was to abandon them and take np his 

 abode among the whites. Afterwards ho con- 

 cluded to stay aud set them a better example. 

 Wlien the missionaries came he gave them a 

 most cordial welcome and all the help ho 

 could, as tliey had come to teach his people. At 

 first the cliief interpreters were white men 

 wh(« had learned the language. They said the 

 gospel could not be interpreted into the Choc- 

 taw ; Folsom said it could, and encouraged 

 them. When the missionaries were learning 

 the language they often wont to him for help. 

 " I could only give it to them rough," he said ; 

 but he helped them all ho could. He was the 

 first elected chief, and was repeatedly chosen 

 to that position. The date of his death I 

 know not, but it was prior to ray commg to 

 the uation in 1851. — Edwards.

 The preface is subscribed by Fritz, but a dedi- 

 cation, which precedes it, is by Scl)ultzc, who 

 had been a Danish missionary at Trauqueljar 

 and wlioso good offices Fritz acknowledges. 

 It is probable he was the real editoi- of the work.
