Very Dear Brother-- -- In the multiplicity of Cares and Business public and private to which I know you are attentive - I know you will allow a moment just to run over a scrawl from an old Friend. - - The repeated Opportunities I have had with the Major (your Son) gave me great Satisfaction, and the more because he could inform me of the State of his dear Father and Family. It seems you still continue alone though in the midst of a world full of people and a large domestic Circle. Perhaps it is best - you must be the best Judge. I hope you still continue to do GOOD - as I trust you have been accustomed to so many Years. It feels to me sometimes that I do none and never did. But we don't know. Reverend Mr. Kirkland 1795 Reverend: Samuel Kirkland Clinton State of New York As to news - Sickly in many places - rather distressing at New Haven - Camp Distemper. Numbers have died - are not the Judgments of a holy God somehow glorious as well as awful, on such a sinful World - and especially on such a sinful people as Connecticut! Dr. Dwight is inaugurated and presided at Commencement last Wednesday - saw Brother Hart who is appointed missionary in New Hampshire and Vermont east side of the Mountain - unexpectedly the General Association has appointed poor me to go again - and I have given encouragement that I will try, Deo Vol: - Part of my Mission is in your Quarter - i.e. to the Unadilla and so up to Fort Stanwix etc. I have it in Expectation to be in those Parts about the middle or latter part of October. - in company partly with Brother St-- who is also going - hope it may please God to give us an agreeable Interview at your House or near it. My best Friend joins me in Love to you and yours. I am now and ever Your affectionate Friend and Brother A. R. Robbins . Rev. Mr. Kirkland .

Avery also tells Kirkland of Captain Wilson's ship the Duff which "failed" with 29 missionaries from England on board.

- Although George strongly desires to be at home, he is unable to, due to a plethora of business appointments and concerns. However, his business is faring quite well, and he foresees the opportunity in the near future to send money. He also asks Samuel to oversee the furnishing of the inside of George's building so he will have a place to return to someday. George also mentions politics and the Antifederals, as well as indicating that Adams will most certainly be the next President. P.S. George hopes that Samuel will send a reply to Lothrop soon.

- Abstract
- George laments that he has not been able to visit his father and assist him in his affairs. Political and other affairs both at home and abroad have put George and other up and coming businessmen in an embarrassing and unfortunate situation. His sense of honor and concern for reputation has forced him to make many sacrifices. He bitterly explains that his "honesty has been trifled with" and his "generosity abused". He tells his father that he stands to lose 30,000 dollars unless action is taken.
