O that I could call back day and months or rather had spent and improved them for God. I hope Dear Sir, now the (?) is removed the camp will go forward; the Lord know I wish the best of his Blessing to your self, family and people; if it be matter of great joy when we fall into Divers Temptations; then were it not for one God; I have matter of joy indeed, viz - an unchristian disquiet discontented temper; O Sir, doth not this condemn all evil doers - but what if only a very small dust of true gold should be found among such a vast heap of filth, and Dung, will it not finally come forth surely - the workman wants not for skill, love or pity if so will it not by and by yield the peaceable fruits of Righteousness. The Devil would have us always to have evil Gods. But Blessed be God I hope through free, free rich and sovereign Grace and mercy he shall be last, be mistaken; and the gallows which he hath provided, himself, shall (Hamon Like) be hanged thereon. methinks I begin to have a small glimpse beyond this scar - what a pleasant and peaceful shore, sorrow and saying shall flee away and all tears be wiped from our eyes, Courage my Dear Sir, Let none of these Gods move you, neither count your life dear to your God till you have finished your course with joy etc- I want you should trust God a little longer. I am sure he will not wrong or cheat you, at last, can a mother forget, it seems the Indian fields are now white for the harvest, may the Lord make you both a skillful and faithful reaper - my most affectionate regard, with all due acknowledgement to Mrs. Kirkland and Mrs. Anne: Love to Matthew and Johnny and all the Indians from your humble servant and true friend Phineas Dodge P.S. Dear Sir, I have done everything you desired me to here. Mr. Shuter and family are well, Mr. Miller is gone out of town. Mr. Shay s and Mr. Campbell's house together with Mr. Fin's Shop is burnt to ashes with most of their furniture etc. Mr. Mosely has been down this way and returned back, about 3 weeks ago on his way near Colonel Crocker s his boat overset the flood being high and the current swift. He had like to have been drown, was almost gone before he made shore. 2 men 2 women and two children were in the boat with him, Mr. Spenser who lives with him, and his wife, Mr. Spenser's sister and her husband all got out save Mr. Spenser's sister and one child two years old who were drowned, this I had from a man who came direct from Cherry Valley. Last Saturday the woman was not found - there was also a man hanged himself about 10 days ago at or not far from Mr. Balls Town he came from Philadelphia by encouragement of a friend at Sir William Bush , Captain somebody who keeps the tavern, but being wholly disappointed and poor and a large family fell into melancholy and so ended his miserable life - O Lord, what is Man: poor, wretched man. Tomorrow morning if the Lord will I set out again on my journey. Doctor Constable is not at home. My breaking out is worse than it was when I set out. Dear Sir farewell Phineas Dodge To the Reverend Mr. Samuel Kirkland at Oneida Mr. Dodge Schenectady June 14 July 1771

Please Sir, to give my love to Mathew and John to William and all, enquiring friends etc. Let us, pray without ceasing and may the blessed God be with you all - farewell Dear Sir farewell Phineas Dodge Last week Mr. Hart was here who came from Boston and says that Doctor Whitaker has reported your things in Boston as marks of your undertaking and further sayeth that you must come down and settle the affair soon or all your reports and what is gone home will be received for fact and your Character be quite gone etc. Oh Sir, may the Lord who alone is able to direct you, to the most prudent measures and such as shall have the greatest tendency in the end to destroy the Kingdom and interest of Satan and to advance the redeemer's cause in the Lord O the wounds which he received in the house of his friend, may this all cease forever and come into rememberance no more forever but may every heart and soul be filled and overflow with such a sacred flame of divine love as shall bind the strong man and spoil his good. O how glad are the enemies of Christ of their opportunity to reproach his cause. Blessed be God: I sometimes feel a greater tenderness for the Dear cause than for the name or character of any finite creature on earth when standing in competition with it. But alas, Dear Sir, how seldom, do I feel such a temper, for the most part, I know not what manner of Spirit I am of, which sad experience has too, too often proved if I have the kingdom of God within me, 'tis indeed like a grain of mustard seed, but O that it may grow and become a tree bearing precious fruit. September 12 - Dear Sir, while I was writing the foregoing lines, I received the joyful tidings of Mr. Avery's arrival, being on his journey to Oneida etc. I immediately waited on him, found he was not only designed to you, but to tarry and labour in the Vineyard with you, a circumstance not only pleasing and acceptable, but truly interesting and important - two are better than one, for if one fall he hath another to help him up etc. - may the Lord make you, not only like David and Jonathan, in Love, but like Paul and Barnabas, in Labour, and success - is anything too hard for the Lord: Why mayn't we hope, and pray for the renewal of friendship, and the overflowings of love and peace, what is sweeter, or more worthy of pursuit. Honey doth not exceed it, nor is life itself worthy to stand in competition with it, what then can be too dear to satisfy rather than not obtain it - if we truly seek the Lord with our whole heart will he not be found of us and though he tarry long, yet will he not surely come, if we do but wait for him. Let us not only wait and pray, but search for the paths of peace as for silver and dig for it as for hid treasure - Who can tell but the Lord: will yet be entreated of and turn again and leave a blessing behind - I am much better in health than I was, Blessed be God: O that I might live and show forth his praise - your friends were in usual health at Newent last week except Mr. Benedick who Mr. Hart said was growing poorer. Doctor Huntington is now gone to Commencement, he designs to set out for Worthington with his family the sixth of October. For further particulars must refer you to Mr. Avery and for my last request, beg the continuance of your prayers and that grace mercy and peace may be multiplied to you and yours is the sincere desire and constant prayer of Dear Sir, Your sincere friend and humble servant in the Dear Immanuel Phineas Dodge September 16: Dear Sir Yesterday I received yours of the 22 of August which gave me both joy of heart and sorrow of the heart, sorrow to hear that so great a wound must be once more opened and not only the side, but the very heart of the Dear redeemer be made to bleed afresh, by our Dear Brother, Thomas who you say has fallen again. Alas what is man; Let him that standeth, take heed lest he fall; but again I rejoice to hear not only from you and yours of your welfare etc., but that the Lord is getting himself the victory over the powers of hell and darkness, O sir, what joy: what comfort, what support and strength must it afford you, in such a day of trial, viz: that the Lord reigns that he is indeed King in Zion and will reign till he shall have trodden down all his enemies - before him - were it not for this, it seems your heart could not endure nor your hands be strong - but blessed be God you have such a strong tower to flee into in a stormy day: Sir, give my kind love to Thomas and tell him that I do freely forgive him, but do earnestly entreat him for his soul sake that for the Lord's sake that he would cut off this right hand which has so often offended him and grieved others, entreat him to search deep for the cause of it, surely there is a cause.

Except Mr. Hart and Mr. Benedick who yet continue in a low state not able to preach at all, they desire to be remembered in the Dearest Bond, to you and yours. Would have wrote to you before but were not able. Old Doctor Huntington says that he fear Mr. Hunt is going into a consumption. Mr. Benedick is not so low, as he is and seems to be on the mending road. Excepting a bad cold, I am better than I was. But alas, I am yet a stupid Atheist, what shall I do. I keep tumbling down the hill yet, though I thought I was at the bottom sometime ago. Oh how hard is such lost ground to be won again, surely 'tis best living by the day, which I hope you daily prove by experience. There is much contention, and very little religion in these parts: Mr. H-T say it: metaphysics and disputes has eat out the vitals of true religion. Dr. Man has been under great darkness and trial in his mind since his sickness, lamenting his own blindness and stupidity and at times has condemned himself for a rotten hypocrite: a Barren dry tree etc he seems now to be established that the glory of all preaching consisteth in the spirit and power which attends it, not only on the hearers but also the preacher, who ought to have a most solemn sense of what he preaches to others etc etc. The week before last I saw Mr. D. Avery at Windham on his way from Long Island to Cohoese where he expects to be ordained an Itinerant, the last of this month, which is your Commencement. He wants to come to Oneida, but fears, the state of his health won't admit of it though he is much better than he was, he has preached every Sabbath, beside 2 or 3 times a week all winter and the spring. He says it has been a glorious time there are many enquiring to know what they should do to be saved etc. He has taken his leave of the Island and in case the Reverend Doctor W--ke is willing thinks to take a tour into the Lutheran provinces etc. Doctor Huntington is now at Worthington Expects to move his family in September. I have heard him preach 2 Sabbaths and one Lector, he preached well. With regard to your affair Mr. Benedick thinks 'tis best for you to come down by all means. The reports mentioned he say have been confirmed by Doctor Whitaker - this will doubtless be hard for you to bear, if it had been an enemy I could have borne it. But 'tis etc --. In case you come down, there is no friend, you can bring with you, like the God of Jephrun he is a healer of breaches and restorer of paths to direct in. I have many things to say but time fails. My best regards to be remembered as I am Dear Sir, with all due regards Yours in the Dear Immanuel P. Dodge P. S. My brother and sister desire to be remembered to Mr. and Mrs. Kirkland : Mrs. Anne etc. Mr. Elisha Hurlburt is dead died the day after I wrote the enclosed.

Friend, here are in usual health Except Elias Frink and Eleaser Fitch the third who to appearance are near the Journey's End. Elias is almost a miracle of wonder, but is yet living, and his cry is in his distress Oh r: a: Christ: but I must be Damned etc etc. Oh Sir I have been taking care of him this week, and to see him lie in such a posture has made Christ Jesus indeed appear as a Pearl of Great price. Mrs. betty Huntington is going to be married to Mr. Simon Clark at the Crank; John Huntington to the Widow Bartholomew Flint . The great tumults in the Nation and Land are no less, but daily increasing, as you doubtless hear of, a number has been killed at Boston by the regulars, among which is Mr. Samuel Gray . Divisions, also among ourselves, both public and those more private are increasing also. I really believe that God is about to let us know what that meaneth a Nation divided shall not stand etc. We are much like the Egyptians who were for having the Judgment removed without the Cause - but blessed be God he has I trust made me willing in some measure that he should reign King in the Earth - Neither do I think if the present Judgment should be removed - without repentance, that it would afford any matter of rejoicing at all in Egypt, when God removed one Judgment, was it not that he might send a greater, even till the sea became their grave, - and Oh, Sir, what if persecution should take place. At this my flesh trembles, and my strength at best is perfect Weakness. I hope you are ready armed for the field in case the Devil should be let loose in the Wilderness, oh may strength be equal to our day. Dear Sir, Accept much Love from your wandering, waving friend; also Mrs. Kirkland . I want much to hear how a pilgrimage life agrees with her, God is able to cause the Wilderness to become her, as to others before her, a fruitful field, a pleasant heritage, - may this be your happy portion, I daily pray for it. remember me at the throne daily - Let us all ( ) the cause of Zion. my brother and sister Desire to be remembered to you both I am your unworthy friend and humble Servant Phineas Dodge Honored Sir. please to give proper regard to all your people whose hearts I hope Live yet by Jesus Christ: and pray for me daily as I do for you.
