Minutes of the meeting of the Connecticut Board of Correspondents of the Society in Scotland for Propagating Christian Knowledge, 1765 September 18
18 September 1765[1765-09-18]
ms number765518
[note (type: abstract): Two copies of minutes from a meeting of the Connecticut Board that approve Wheelock’s expenses for the School, and list items to be considered, including sending Whitaker and Occom to Europe.][note (type: handwriting): Version of minutes written in Wheelock's hand is informal yet largely clear and legible. Another in an unknown hand, likley that of Nathaniel Whitaker, is more formal and slightly more legible.][note (type: paper): There are two separate sheets of paper -- one small sheet, and one long sheet torn lengthwise from a larger one. Both are in good-to-fair condition, with light creasing, staining and wear. Repair work has been done on the central crease of the long, thin sheet.][note (type: ink): Dark brown, and brown-black.][note (type: noteworthy): On two verso, the meaning, or intended meaning, of the word "theer" is uncertain, and so the word has been left untagged. Non-contemporary notes have been made on each document in pencil; these notes have not been transcribed.][note (type: signature): Wheelock appears to initialize the copy in his hand; otherwise, there is no signature.]
