He needs more information and asks Kirkland to write something about Wheelock's work among the Indians. McClure says that Kirkland is the last "persevering missionary" of those who originally set out to work with the Indians. He also asks what the numbers and names were of the Senecas when Kirkland first arrived in 1765. McClure poses several questions regarding the Five Nations and their language, agriculture, arts and education.

Reverend and dear Sir-- Your kind Letter, I received some time since, in which you mention one wrote in May last, which I've not received. You justly observe the dullness of our correspondence. I heartily wish it might be more frequent. Acknowledge my own indolence - have no excuse to make except it be the want of opportunity - determine for the future the fault shall not be on my side. Sir, I congratulate you on the duplicate increase of your family, which I lately hear; you begin well - pray Sir, hold out, and we shall soon be supplied with young Missionaries. Dear Sir, my situation is very lonesome and desolate - no suitable companion for society - nor even a housekeeper to wash my dishes. I long to see you to know whether Hymen's prison is a palace of joy, and his silken bands, cords of friendship, or the reverse. I am at a ne plus ultra in my Mind with respect to entering upon a conjugal State. You are now capable of giving friendly advice. I expect tomorrow to set out for Wyoming. I shall be absent two Sabbaths. Have not heard from New England since last Spring, when I left it. There is a plan on foot for building a church in this place. A Gentleman who proposed this way the other day, offered one hundred dollars toward it. The Indians are very generous in their offers. Pray Sir be mindful of me and my poor people in your prayers. May the pleasure of the Lord prosper in your Hands. Best Complements to your Lady. Am your dear Brother in our common Lord Ebenezer Moseley
