The purchase contains betwixt 60 and 70 acres of good land - mostly under improvement. the home lot contains about 13 acres, with a decent and convenient dwelling house and Barn - garden and small orchard and other conveniences - lying within 50 rods of the meeting house - the other lot about an hundred rods distant. - This will afford a comfortable habitation for my dear Consort and infant offspring - and in a few years, with a little labor and expense - support them well, if I should be called to leave them. - 'Tis judged I have made the purchase to great advantage - nothing but the scarcity of money would have procured it at so reasonable a rate. I could not secure it without valuing on you the above mentioned bum of œ160 - for which I now draw in favor of James Dole Merchant, in Albany. I trust it will meet your entire approbation - and I humbly hope my heavenly Father hath known that I need these things - for I neither sought, nor, in my calling expected them and of all am most unworthy - O the astonishing goodness of God! may I feel these additional and sacret obligations to faithfulness in discharging the trust committed to me. Am now on my way to Oneida - I wrote to you from Stockbridge the 29th of October a letter much of the same tenor with this - Honored Sir - accept my warmest Thanks for your liberality - and prayer to God that you may be rewarded with the blessings of that covenant ordered in all things and sure - that your generous Soul may be in health and prosper - and when you are old - not see the righteous forsaken, nor your seed begging bread. Thus prays, Honored Sir, Your most obedient and obliged humble Servant Samuel Kirkland To John Thornton Esquire [From a rough draft in Kirkland's hand.]
