Type: Correspondence
Pages: 20 image files
Subjects: Indians of North America -- New York (State), Missionaries -- New York (State)

Abstract: Samuel Kirkland tells about the state of the Indians and his own experience with them. There is a definite division between the Christian Indians and the Pagans. After much dispute, Kirkland was allowed to occupy a Quaker house, which afforded him many more conveniences. The question resurfaces as to who should be the Oneida's minister, Kirkland or Crosby. Miller took a neutral approach to the matter and asked the Indians whom they would prefer. Kirkland informs him of a conflict in regard to John Jordan, Mr. Sergeant, and Captain Hendrick. Kirkland speaks of his affection for Crosby.

Type: Correspondence
Pages: 4 image files
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 has had his folio transcribed at last. He is happy to say that an unexpected "union" has occurred between the Oneidas, i.e. the "pagans and the Christians." He is anxious for the return of Mr. Crosby. The Oneidas need someone to oversee them. P.S. When Crosby comes, he will probably need an interpreter for a few months. Crosby also needs to be aware of the physical and mental strain he must endure all year round.
