Eleazar Wheelock, letter, to George Whitefield, 1762 September 16
16 September 1762[1762-09-16]
Call Number762516.1
[note (type: abstract): Copy of a letter in which Wheelock discusses Occom's mission, those affected by Indian wars, the growth of the School, grants of money, and the donation of books.][note (type: handwriting): Informal handwriting is small and occasionally difficult to decipher; it is not Wheelock’s.][note (type: paper): Large sheet folded in half to make four pages is heavily reinforced, which makes it difficult to gauge the condition of the paper.][note (type: ink): Black-brown ink is somewhat dimmed by reinforcement.][note (type: noteworthy): This letter is a copy of manuscript 762516. It is uncertain to whom Wheelock refers when he mentions the "English Youth" in the second paragraph of one recto, and so he has been left untagged. The number 814 is circled in blue pencil at the top of one recto; it is likely a cataloguing number, possibly of a private collector. An editor, likely 19th-century, has added the note "To Whitefield" after the trailer on two verso. This note has not been included in the transcription.][note (type: signature): The signature is not in Wheelock’s hand.]EventsOccom’s Second Mission to the Oneidas
