- Abstract
- The new blacksmith, Mr. Wemple, is unable to make tools due to the lack of iron. A few pagans in the town are trying to prevent Wemple from setting up shop in the old Quaker blacksmith building. Samuel Kirkland says that the Quakers left some iron, but it cannot be found. Kirkland talks about the Quakers' three year stay with the Oneidas. He also states that honest men need to be found to be in charge of the mills. Kirkland mentions there is a disagreement between the Oneidas and the Kanghsorge Indians, which should be settled by Chapin or Judge Dean.

Sir, Permit me to observe to you, that the difficulties, attending the collection of subscriptions already made to the Hamilton Oneida Academy, and procuring others, till the next season, induced the Trustees of said Seminary, to apply to you for a small loan, which you was pleased to grant, Colonel Sanger and myself becoming joint security for same. In order to complete their Building, the Trustees have since proposed to me, to convey the donation I have made to them, with a mortgage, giving them the Equity of Redemption, that I might thereby be able to procure them a thousand or fifteen hundred dollars. Could you, Sir, conveniently loan them, or me on their behalf, the sum of 10 or 12 hundred dollars for the term of one year, I will mortgage to you three hundred acres of land, including the Academy plat or lot of ground on which the Academy is erected. The Building has already cost them upwards of two thousand dollars. The land only, would be valued at 16 or 18 hundred dollars. __ Pity the Institution should be retarded for want of some friend to give it a lift at the present juncture: as few, if any, are established upon more liberal knowledge, and enlarging the bounds of human happiness, and aiding the reign of virtue. I wish to hear from you upon the subject by first conveyance. With sentiments of high respect and esteem, I am Sir Your obedient humble Servant Samuel Kirkland Stephen Van Renselaer Esquire The Honorable Stephen Van Rensselaer member of Senate New York 1795 Samuel Kirkland

- Abstract
- Samuel Kirkland mentions the benefits that have been heaped on the Oneida Indians by Congress. He gives the state of affairs of the Oneidas. Mr. Wemple, a blacksmith, has moved to the area and is well-liked by most of the Indians. Wemple is ready to work and will be a good source of materials that the Indians badly need. The shop and tools once belonging to the Quakers should be utilized. The iron and steel left by the Quakers is unaccounted for. Despite some conversions of faith, a majority of the town, Aghwistorris, are pagans and have revived ancestral feasts and sacrifices. He continues to give an account of Indian behavior, problems, etc.
