I thank you for the kindness, which some of you have shewn to my dear M' Kirkland, whom I sent into your country last fall. His heart is bent todo good to the Indians. He denies himself all the pleasure and honors which he might have here among his friends, only to do you good. JI hope you will continue your kindness to him, and treat him as my child. I hope God will make him an instrument of great good to the Indians.

I wish you all the happiness in this world and the world to come. I design by God's help to do all the good I can to the poor miserable Indians as long as I live; and when you can pray to God for yourselves, then pray also for me. I hope I shall-live in heaven with many of you, and that we shall rejoice together in beholding our glorified Redeemer forevermore. Amen.
