Avery desires more frequent correspondence and is dismayed at the attempts by some people to take Samuel Kirkland from his mission post. He inquires as to Kirkland's knowledge on the newly founded Grand Missionary Society in London, in regards to expanding "to the South Seas, Africa, Canada and other parts of the Pagan World." Avery also tells Kirkland of Captain Wilson's ship the Duff which "failed" with 29 missionaries from England on board. He also talks of Mr. Brainard's Evangelical Magazine and the correct approach to Indians. P.S. Send love to David Fowler and all of the Oneida people.
