McClure is gathering memories of the life of Dr. Wheelock and a history of Moor's School and Dartmouth College. He needs more information and asks Kirkland to write something about Wheelock's work among the Indians. McClure says that Kirkland is the last "persevering missionary" of those who originally set out to work with the Indians. He also asks what the numbers and names were of the Senecas when Kirkland first arrived in 1765. McClure poses several questions regarding the Five Nations and their language, agriculture, arts and education.Letter writer: David M'Clure, Letter recipient: Samuel Kirkland
