An opportunity now presents of conveyance from hence to Schenectady - I came here three days ago, by the importunity of the distressed inhabitants, whose children are all smitten with the small-pox. Mr. Ruff has lost his oldest Daughter - the rest are all like to do well. I am almost impatient to hear from you. I trust the Lord has been kind to you - May he ever be your guardian God - and you rest quiet and secure under the shadow of his wings. 'Tis my constant prayer that your life and health - with the dear little Babes may be ever precious in God's sight. There has of late been a great controversy and dispute among my people, respecting the Nature of Repentance Baptism and Covenanting with God - I have done little else than attend Counsels and catechetical lectures for near three weeks - the debate has had a happy issue - brought truth to light - established and strengthened the church, who as yet have won the day - against the head-men and multitude of several villages - a number are now become attentive to divine truths - last Sabbath had a crowded assembly - May the Lord bless you and be very gracious to you - so prays - Your affectionate husband Samuel Kirkland For Mrs. Jerusha Kirkland For Mrs. Jerusha Kirkland In Windham To the Care of Reverend Mr. West In Stockbridge Mr. Kirkland July 10, 1772
