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 .

I find the Dutch Minister such a Person or rather Parson as I never conversed with before, yet I understand there is another like him. He sais Mr Mosely agreed very well with him; (believe it's true) O that old things may be done away and forgotten and all things become new and the Kingdom of the glorious glorious Redeemer be extended far and wide in these Deserts; when you write me again please to send these words translated into Indian, "thou thoughtest that I was altogether such a one as thyself but will reprove thee and set thy sins in order before thee." perhaps you have something wrote upon the Subject that will be serviceable. Our Father still holds his integrity (Adam) takes great care of me, presents his Love to you, is on good Health, says he stands in need of but one thing, that is, the divine assistance to enable him to persevere in the ways of Godliness; rejoices to hear of your welfare; but bemoans your condition so far separate from your Dear Partner. That you may enjoy the communion and consolation of the Holy Spirit, which is better than any earthly companion, is the prayer of your affectionate Brother, A.

I write this 28th of October 1776- You shall now be informed of our situation this way- for which purpose we send back Kargah (a young Mohawk so called from Niagara) and I wish we might be certified what you are doing your way- Our eyes are fixed upon Canada - The commands of the Governor there determine our conduct. But we are assured he is well disposed - he will not punish such, as are behind the hand of others in coming in (or joining him) - and although you reside in the midst of the Bostonians you are loved by all the Britains, and by all the different nations of Indians - it is only expected of you that you don't take active part with the Bostonians while you reside in the midst of them. The only reason they don't arise this way and destroy all around you is your situation viz. Residing in the midst of Bostonians. The Indians universally are firmly united with you on the Kings side- the Cherokees are of your sentiment, let this strengthen your minds with the disposition of the Governor of Canada- he purposes in the first place to take possession of Ticonderoga and this way and then New York. They are to meet in Albany, Then the Indians one and all are to proceed and make their way thither- I hope no misfortune may befall you in the meantime- these are the important matters I now have to communicate- Let the sentiments possess your minds my Younger Brothers, be assured of this taking place- I must however observe, at our grand meeting at Niagara (Consisting of Ottawas Chippewas and others with some of the Six Nations) -many of the Indians were discouraged by disappointment- they were eager to return and fall upon the frontiers but the Commander would not consent to it solely on account of your situation being surrounded by Bostonians- In this god has mercifully spared us, especially my Country (the Mohawks) this conduct of our Commander, I attribute to the divine disposal- Let Colonel Butler receive many thanks from you for his friendly Administration- he is well and the one that is with him ( NB the Indian letter does not specify whether the one, here mentioned be the Commander or some other) let no offence be taken that I don't return so soon as expected: the Commander will not part with me- I am of great service to him- Aaron Kanorraron
