Kirtland can inform you.

I look upon myself in particular, as well as, upon my country in general, to be much indebted to Your Honour for Your indefatigable and (hitherto) successful Labors, to establish a Peace with the Natives, upon a sollid and lasting Foundation. May God requite Your Labour and Fatigue with that peace which is the peculiar privilege of his chosen. I am with most sincere duty and Esteem, may it please Your Honor.

Your Honour's Most obedient and Most Humble Servant Evesazar WHEELOCK.

M® WEYMAN TO SIR W™ JOHNSON.

344 PAPERS RELATING TO

that ye Gentleman I mentioned to you by ye Name of Capt Clause, was your Son, and that you could not spare him to come down to revise and correct y® Impression here ; I therefore * made bold to apply to Mrs Barclay, for all y® Copy relating to it, that she could find in ye Doctor's Library. She was kind to forward it down to me this Day ; and I now inelose it, imagining, (unless yonr Excellency has some Gentleman here to undertake its Inspection) that its being transcribed in a very fair legible Hand under your own hye, and by ye Assistance of your Son's Copy, the Book can still be finished ; as, by being transmitted to me, in a fair Manuscript, or other plain Alterations to be made in ye printed Copy ; I will undertake to finish it to satisfaction in y¢ form already began, and keep Letter for Letter with ye M.S. yousend me.
