14 January 1765[1765-01-14]
Call Number765114.1
[note (type: abstract): Wheelock writes to the The New York/New Jersey Board of the Society in Scotland for Propagating Christian Knowledge about the missionaries and school masters he has educated at his Indian Charity school, and asks them to allow John Brainerd to solicit funds in Europe to support it. Also included is a note to William Peartree Smith asking him to respond with the Board's decision as soon as possible.][note (type: handwriting): Handwriting is, exclusive of the trailer on one recto, not Wheelock’s; it is largely clear and legible.][note (type: paper): Large single sheet is in fair-to-poor condition, with moderate-to-heavy creasing, staining and wear that results in a slight loss of text.][note (type: ink): Ink is a faded black-brown.][note (type: noteworthy): The document is a contemporary copy, likely Wheelock's for his records. An editor, likely 19th-century, has inserted brackets in black ink around the third paragraph on one recto, and written in brackets in the left margin “o-mitted in L. y Brd.” He has bracketed the fifth paragraph on one recto, and written “omitted” in the left margin; bracketed the first paragraph on one verso and written “(omitted)" in the upper right corner; and bracketed the third paragraph in the letter at the bottom of page 2 and written “(omitted)” above it. These additions have not been transcribed.][note (type: signature): The signature is not Wheelock's.]EventsFundraising Tour of Great Britain
