This encourages him much, he begins to form some little scheme, the first, alas, he ever formed in his life. If he is wise he thus spends in a tent on the street two or three score years, in which time he acquires knowledge, the use of tools, the modes of working the lands, felling trees, &c.

In order to relocate both the Stockbridge-Munsee and Oneida Indians, government officials, along with missionaries, negotiated the acquisition of a large tract in what is now Wisconsin.

A great collector of antiquities and beautiful objects, he took interest in her as another acquisition. He had long been happily married until the death of his wife in 1782, and he liked female companionship. His home in Naples was well known all over the world for hospitality and refinement. He needed a hostess for his salon, and from what he knew about Emma, he thought she would be the perfect choice.
