Presbyterian minister and missionary who served the Oneida and Tuscarora peoples of western New York state (1741–1808). Kirkland was also involved with the Iroquois tribes, and played an instrumental role in negotiating New York’s land purchase from the Iroquois after the Revolutionary War. ALS signed “Saml. Kirkland,” one page, 7.5 x 4.5, June 7, 1797. Kirkland writes to John Butler, in part, to “Please to pay Lieut: Rd. Aylmer the sum of thirteen pound N. York,” and to charge the amount to an undetermined account. In very good condition, with central horizontal and vertical fold, light toning, and show-through from docketing on the reverse. This elegantly-penned letter is the first we’ve offered from Kirkland.
