which I have not the Least doubt if Conducted properly to
which end my advice and endeavors shall be always Chearfully
bestowed. I have a few Lines by him from D, Burton wherein
is mentioned the Societys approbation of and allowance to Ml
Hall, to be fixedat Conojoharee until he has taken Orders. The
design is good, and I wish he was now there to enter upon it-I
have built a handsome Church there at my own Expence' Tho'
I had been promised the assistance of others but the timnes did
not admit of it, and as that village is equal in zeal & attachment
to the Mohocks and is 30 miles farther up the Country, Mr Halls
establishment & success there will contribute greatly to enlarge
the design of the plan, and to point out its benefits to the public,
which so soon as these persons are properly Seated and have
acquired a share of the Language and Confidence of the Indians,
may be so far Extended as to comprehend all that can be wished
for, to form one vast & Generous design.
It is extremely probable that a War with Spain is not very
distant, and indeed I believe it is Covetted by many people but
Spain will have powerfull alliances, and without great Care
France, may give' us fresh trouble in America, particularly thro'
the Influence they still retain over so many Indian Nations. I
am much obliged to the worthy Dr Johnson for his kind remembrance and sincerely wish him all happiness. My Son, who
desires his Complements to you purposes to visit N York soon
Col: Johnson also desires to be kindly remembered, and be
assured that I am always with perfect regard
Dear Sir &c.
The Revd Mr. Chas Inglis.
