Show moreKirkland 3a Eleazer Wheelock to Samuel Kirkland 1768 Lebanon, 21 November 1768. My dear Sir. I would send you the money by William if you had assured me it would be safe, but you may expect it by the first safe conveyance, as my steady disposition always has been, and I believe ever will be, so long as you are faithful to the Lord's cause, to supply all your necessities within my power and every way encourage and help you in your work, and establish the best character of you far and wide. William brought with him a letter from Jacob's sisters, desiring Jacob to return home with William and Hannah - representing their necessity of his coming to take care of them. But as he was sent down to continue till he should be fit to put into Business, and I had retaken him on no other consideration - and they had said nothing to Mr. Avery of his coming, or any necessity of it - and he is desired to come only by his sister, I know not who - and my letting him go on such Grounds and Reasons will be a bad Precedent - and give just cause of Displeasure to all the thinking and judicious part of the Indians, I have finally told him that if you shall write to me advising to his return, or that the Wise men think it best I will send him immediately. Hanna goes off with Honour. She has behaved well and made good proficiency since she came. I believe you will be able to discern that her manners are somewhat polished. Mr. Cleveland was highly pleased with the behaviour of your Indians at the Congress. William tells me that Thomas and his Family design to come as soon as it is good sleighing. I shall be glad to have him come, and if I could be certain of it I would prepare a Room for him beforehand. Joseph Johnson on hearing that I had heard of his ill behaviour in his late Tour and Being conscious of his desert of punishment went off on Friday morning. I have some intimations he designs for sea with Aaron Occam , both of whom I expect will be poor drunken creatures. Oh! my dear sir, how shocking is it that one after another turns out so. It looks indeed as though the whole of them excepting a small remnant were nigh unto cursing. Tell Thomas I long to have him a preacher and to lift up his voice like a trumpet to show them their misery and danger. You sent no word respecting my sending a schoolmaster. Only that too late you see your error in not taking Mr. Dodge with you. Will not Johannes do to keep school this winter? I hope John Matthews will do in the Spring. I think Avery has improved much by his tour. Mr. Rodgers of New York left the following memoranda to be communicated to you. "That the Reverend Mr. Beane , one of the Members of the Presbytery of Relief and Minister in Edinburgh, has sent a bill of exchange to the Reverend Mr. Rodgers (i.e. of New York) of sixty pounds Sterling, a part of which Mr. Rodgers is desired to pay into the Hands of Reverend Mr. Kirkland as an acknowledgement to him for his extraordinary services as a missionary among the Indians. Mr. Rodgers does not recollect the sum precisely mentioned in Mr. Beane's letter to be appropriated to Mr. Kirkland's account, but thinks it is thirty pounds Sterling. but he will strictly follow Mr. Beane's orders, and desires Mr. Kirkland will give him order to whom he shall pay the money and the money shall be paid accordingly when it comes to hand, as Mr. Rodgers expects shortly to receive the money. Mr. Rodgers will expect receipt from the person to whom he will pay the money for the satisfaction of Mr. Beane ." Perhaps you will have opportunity from your country direct to New York. My dear Sir, farewell. Yours affectionately, Eleazer Wheelock . P.S. John Moseley who was apprentice to Doctor Tracy died of an apoplexy yesterday at Norwich. A heavy stroke indeed upon Brother Moseley . The Lord sanctify the same to us all. To the Reverend. Mr. Samuel Kirkland Missionary to the Six Nations Kanawarohara Reverend Doctor Wheelock November 21, 1768
