- Abstract
- The new blacksmith, Mr. Wemple, is unable to make tools due to the lack of iron. A few pagans in the town are trying to prevent Wemple from setting up shop in the old Quaker blacksmith building. Samuel Kirkland says that the Quakers left some iron, but it cannot be found. Kirkland talks about the Quakers' three year stay with the Oneidas. He also states that honest men need to be found to be in charge of the mills. Kirkland mentions there is a disagreement between the Oneidas and the Kanghsorge Indians, which should be settled by Chapin or Judge Dean.
