- Abstract
- Samuel Kirkland mentions the benefits that have been heaped on the Oneida Indians by Congress. He gives the state of affairs of the Oneidas. Mr. Wemple, a blacksmith, has moved to the area and is well-liked by most of the Indians. Wemple is ready to work and will be a good source of materials that the Indians badly need. The shop and tools once belonging to the Quakers should be utilized. The iron and steel left by the Quakers is unaccounted for. Despite some conversions of faith, a majority of the town, Aghwistorris, are pagans and have revived ancestral feasts and sacrifices. He continues to give an account of Indian behavior, problems, etc.
