This document deals with Samuel Kirkland's petition for the establishment of an Academy to which Samuel Kirkland has given much money and support. In its beginning the Academy ran into every possible discouragement. It is recognized that Samuel Kirkland himself gave the Academy 325 acres worth at least 1900 dollars. In addition, Kirkland has given money totaling 1221 dollars. At the time when he started the Academy, he "possessed a handsome estate," but presently he has undergone "a series of unfortunate events." Kirkland has thus solicited relief for himself and the Academy.
