Kirkland 116b William Gordon to Samuel Kirkland Ipswich June 10 1789 My dear Sir I should have been glad to have heard from you since our parting in 86, and to have received further materials for the History of the Six Nations, etc. To encourage your expediting of that business, I have desired our friend Mr. Mason to forward you a set of my History, the perusal of which I hope will afford you much satisfaction.

It is nearly out of print. Suffer me to urge you with earnestness to prosecute with vigor the collecting and sending for me to Mr. Mason's the remaining traditionary accounts that the aged blind Indian Historiatraditor has yet to communicate in addition to what has been already given. Both our lives, as well as his, are uncertain, and I wish to have the work completed. I have before assured you that if the work goes to the press, and yields any profits, you shall share in the same. We are not yet settled, but hope to be so in less than three months. I have been invited to preach at St. Neots in Huntingdonshire, 56 miles from London, about 26 from the place where I was born, and 18 from Cambridge. If spared and permitted of Heaven, I shall go thither the beginning of July. It is I am told a very pretty town. Should not the people and I be suitable to each other, we shall go into a house that I hired here before I received the invitation. We are at present, blessed be God, in good health and spirits, upon a visit to a friend's house, till our future removal is concluded upon. Last November twelvemonth Mrs. Gordon was dangerously ill of a fever, which lay much in her right hand and wholly crippled the same. After some weeks she so far recovered the use of it, that she can dress and undress herself, sew, write, and do other light business; but it is weak, and her fingers are too much stiffened to admit of being opened and being used as the other. We are thankful to our heavenly Father that it is so far restored. I shall be glad to hear whether religion gains ground and flourishes among the Indians. We wish you growing success in your labors among, and a rich harvest of souls. Mrs. Gordon joins in affectionate remembrance to Mrs. Kirkland and your sons, with your sincere friend William Gordon The Reverend Mr. Kirkland In the care of Jonathan Mason Sr. Esquire Reverend William Gordon D.D. June 10 1789
