Subjects: Indians of North America -- New York (State), Missionaries -- New York (State)
Geography: Oneida (N.Y.), Oneida County (N.Y.), New York
Abstract: Samuel Kirkland says that most of his landed property has been stripped and that the accusations against him sent to the Commissioners in Boston were proved to be groundless. Kirkland says that Sergeant wants the entire removal of Kirkland's mission, and he had tried to replace Kirkland with Crosby for 6-7 years. Kirkland describes all of Sergeant's plotting against him. He uses an Indian quote, and then discusses the mutual dislike between himself and Captain Hendrick, minister of the Stockbridge Indians. Kirkland also mentions a dispute between Sergeant and Occum. Kirkland had in the past supported Sergeant when complaints were levied against him. Kirkland talks about his own search for a replacement missionary to the Indians, and expresses his love for Mr. Crosby. He enumerates the underhanded and uncalled-for behavior of Sergeant.
