Abstract: F-6 1829, June 11 Letter to E. R. from John T. Kirkland who is in Paris. Tells E. R. that he did not have a correct address for his residence in Paris and therefore is not surprised that E. R. did not receive his letter of last October. Reiterates what was in that lost letter, namely, he married shortly before resigning from the presidency of Harvard and then planned to travel in the U.S. before embarking on a tour of Europe. In the October letter John not only had asked for advice on travel in Europe but he also relayed the news that his sister, Mrs. Amory [Sarah Kirkland], had died very suddenly. He now asks E. R. to write him in Paris where he plans to stay for a month.

My dear Son, You are anxious for my health and happiness; with many expressions of filial and fraternal affection in your letter of the 19th of August. I enjoy as much health as can reasonably be expected, from the fatigues I am obliged to subject myself to, in my present situation. I had a narrow escape about three weeks ago; by the stumbling and starting of my hose was thrown some distance on hard, stony ground. It was some time before I recovered from the shock it gave my whole frame, so as to perceive there was the breath of life in me. The parts most injured were my right side, hip and lower part of the bowels. By the extension of the arms, saved my head. God has seen fit to spare me, for some purpose or other. How much have we, in the events of Providence, to teach us the absolute dependence of the creature upon the Creator. Soon after my fall, before I was able to remount my horse, I had a most lively and awfully pleasing sense of the apostle's declaration, that it is in God we live and move and have our being. How constant and unremitting the agency of the Deity, though invisible invisible to us. He is the infinite Intelligence and Fountain of power. As to the affairs of the family, they are in statu quo, except an increase of cares. The building, under so many disadvantages and so much unpreparedness, subjects me to inexpressible trouble, with some perplexity. I am sorry it was not in Mr. Russell's power to oblige me with the loan of three or four hundred dollars. But he has a right to do what he will with his own; who then can object? - You are now my last resource, so far as your abilities extend. - If Jerusha has not expended my quarterly salary from H. College, I wish you to send the remainder to your Brother George, and whatever more you shall be able to collect by that time. Some late changes and improvements among the Indians, shall be mentioned in my next. -Wishing you increasing happiness with an increase of every divine grace and virtue - will be the constant prayer of Reverend Sir Your affectionate Father S. Kirkland . Reverend J. T. Kirkland .

Geography: Ballstown Springs (N.Y.), Saratoga County (N.Y.), New York
Abstract: Samuel rejoices that Thornton made it safely to Boston, and he is glad that Thornton met up with George, whom Samuel promises to comfort in his times of misfortune. He talks about George's problems concerning certain negotiations in which George "wished to have the Loan of my Name." He mentions Eliza's educational expenses [see 197c and 197e]. He resumes the topic of George's problems which arise from a particular bond, the dealings with which put Samuel in a bad situation both in reputation and in monetary concerns. Samuel feels George should make amends. George also gave a bond of 40,000 to a Mr. Shotwell for two townships of land, but George later sold it causing Shotwell to become angered. Samuel talks about his healthy recovery at the Springs and his recent expenditures.

Abstract: Samuel Kirkland regrets that his son should so early in life be worried about temporalities. George will probably be visiting Thornton soon. Jerusha ought to show Thornton the gist of the enclosed and take Thornton's advice. P.S. Just now received Thornton's letter of the 5th -- thank you for the enclosed. P.S. At this point, Samuel regrettably cannot contribute for the education of Sammy.
