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.]

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: G-3 1829, April 25 Contains three letters to E. R. (c/o Curtis & Porter in Paris): one from Elisabeth in Southington dated April 25; one from Charles dated April 26; one from Elisabeth dated April 28. First two letters fill 4 sides of regular paper, thereby requiring a separate piece of paper be used to create an envelope. On the back of this envelope, Elisabeth has written her second letter, with text in both the horizontal and vertical positions. In no. 1, Elisabeth thanks her brother for sending her a watch, "a token of fraternal remembrance." The opening paragraph of this letter shows clearly what an inseparable bond existed between these two siblings. Mentions that the Christian Spectator is being issued quarterly. Notes that the number of subscribers dropped by 100 after the Spirit of the Pilgrim came out in Boston. Mentions revivals occurring in towns such as Farmington and says that Mr. Ogden (pastor of the Cong. Church) expects such activity to spread to Southington. In no. 2, Charles rejoices with Edward that he is soon to become a father. Charles cautioned his brother to provide well for Therese at this time, noting with sorrow the infirmities that have come to his wife Nancy because of problems in childbirth. Gives advice to Edward concerning the selling of land in Clinton. Notes that Hamilton College is currently under review by the Board of Regents. Also says he has no knowledge of the Ohio land negotiations, for these are being handled solely by George. In no. 3, Elisabeth tells her brother that the spring months of March and April have been very cold and thus the peach and apricot trees have yet to burst into full bloom. Even the Hudson was frozen until the end of March as far south as Poughkeepsie, with stage passengers going from Albany to Poughkeepsie on the ice and then switching to steamboat for the trip to New York City. At this date the garden has produced peas and lettuce, but the other vegetables are slow to mature. Charles has planted 3 varieties of grapes. "Dr.[J. T.] Kirkland and Lady sailed for Havre on the 11th." Speaks of the Temperance Society and a resolution signed by 18 men and 15 ladies who promised not to use spirits except as medicine for a period of one year.
Note: 1829, April 25/26- Two letters in one to Edward Robinson, one from Elisabeth, one from Charles.
