- Abstract
- Attributes the late misunderstanding to the work of Satan. Recognizes that Samuel Kirkland's commitment to the London Board of Correspondents in Boston now more important than his other (earthly) commitments. Kirkland did suffer for supplies under Wheelock's patronage, although this was not because of willful neglect on Wheelock's part. Kirkland has not personally benefitted from any patronage, but has put it all into his mission work and the support of his family. Kirkland has also been supportive of Dartmouth. Wheelock "never himself accused Kirkland with extravagance". Wheelock and Kirkland agree not to believe reports injurious of the other until the injured party can be questioned on the issue.
