Report
That at the request and under the direction of the Marshall of the United States for the Pennsylvania District, they assisted in placing out on Indentures the Cargoes of the Schooners Phoebe and Prudent, amounting originally to one hundred and thirty four persons; of this number eight have deceased, the remainder were placed principally in the country to learn some useful business, the males under seventeen until they attain the age of twenty one years, females under fourteen until they arrived at eighteen years of age, and all others for four years; the terms of the indentures are as favorable as under existing circumstances, it was practicable to procure, and being recorded in the indenture Book of the Society, can at any time be referred to for particulars.
The Committee having preserved their minutes think it unnecessary to go into a long history of their proceedings, referring to them for a minute account, and if the society think proper to preserve them among their Papers. they may in future should a similar case occur, afford useful information.
