Nathaniel Whitaker, letter, to Eleazar Wheelock, 1767 February 12
12 February 1767[1767-02-12]
ms number767162.1
[note (type: abstract): Whitaker writes regarding several matters, including the slanders of the New England Company, General Lyman's progress in obtaining land, the necessity of formalizing the Charity School accounts, and the disbursement of a shipment of books. He notes that Whitefield suggests sending Indian baskets to the wives of donors, and that Occom proposes Long Island as a suitable new location for an Indian school.][note (type: handwriting): Handwriting is small and crowded, yet mostly clear and legible. On two verso, the date of receipt is in Wheelock's hand; the other trailer is in an unknown hand.][note (type: paper): Large sheet folded in half to make four pages is in fair condition, with moderate staining, creasing and wear. A tear on the outer edge of two recto/verso results in some loss of text.][note (type: noteworthy): In the last paragraph of one recto, the identity of "Young Johnson" is uncertain, and so he has been left untagged. However, he is likely John Johnson[pers0621.ocp]. If Whitaker's intention regarding a word or abbreviation is uncertain, the word or abbreviation has been left unmodified in the modernized transcription. The postscript is written on the crease between one verso and two recto.][note (type: signature): The letter is signed twice, both times abbreviated.]EventsMason Land Case, Fundraising Tour of Great Britain
