The Reverend
Mr. Johnson came
to this place
29th
last month with the fulness
of the blessings of the Gospel — was cordially
received by the Indians — released their Minds
from some disquietude — occasioned by the
long absence of a minister — he came as
one in
season —
Sir William
and a very large Num
ber of Gentlemen have been at
Fort Stan wix about
three weeks — the Indians are
come and
coming — it is expected they will
all arrive in a week or ten Days — will,
doubtless be the largest
congress that ever
was among the
Six Nations
— design, by di
vine Leave, to accompany the Rev.
Mr.
Johnson over as soon as the Indians go — and
return to
New England as soon as the congress
shall be ended — and let the
Doctor
know the Parti
culars — and fully the result of the whole — which,
doubtless, will be — determining —
Have procured four very likely Children
for the
School —
Thomas and his Brother arrived
safe with
very
Exalted Ideas of the
School — behave
very
well.
Not long since
Thomas' wife, after about three
week's sickness, left this world —
hopefully for
a better
— had
satisfying Evidence that her
peace was made with God — and that she
has
gone to join the assembly of the those that
are made
white in the Blood of the Lamb
—
Since,
Thomas
manifests a great desire to
go to
New England — the
rather
soon — because
is afraid
his Daughter will be distracted at hear
ing the heavy Tidings — shall
act according to the
Doctor's Directions with respect to his going —
Mundius had about a month's Journey hither
—
remains low — though some better — it is not likely he
will be able to return with me
—
Susannah is
now at the
Fort
— dressed in her Indian dress
through
out — how affairs may turn — shall hasten to
inform the
Doctor
personally as soon as may be —
By the great goodness of God am in a
better state of health than my fears have sug
gested since
Mr. Kinne left us — That undeserved
concern, Love and
kindness the
Doctor is so constantly
exercising towards me — is almost, too much for one to
receive — would embrace this Opportuni
ty to acknowledge the favour of two
Letters
from the
Doctor — one by
Thomas — the other
by the Rev.
Mr.
Johnson for which please
to accept many thanks — —
Hoping for the continuance of an interest
in the
Doctor's Prayers — am,
with all Duty
and Humility,
