- Abstract
- The board has agreed with Samuel Kirkland to send a committee to visit him to observe the state of affairs among the Oneidas. They want Mr. Palmer to be more effective as a missionary. Miller talks about the state of the Indians and Palmer's role among them, emphasizing the need to break the communications gap between whites and Indians. The board resolved to employ Kirkland in translating certain things into the Oneida language. Upon completing this task he would receive $200.
