In Albany I received valuable assistance and advice from Mr. Holmes and Mr. Howell of the State Library, also from Mr. Melius of the City Clerk's office and others.

I have reserved for a most especial and grateful acknowledgment the name of General John S. Clark of Auburn, New York.

My work is indebted to him for a treasure of information which he alone could give.

In the knowledge of Iroquois localities in New York State, particularly those of two centuries ago, and the trails over which missionaries from Canada traveled so painfully to villages where they labored so hard and yet successfully, he is the undoubted pioneer.

An account of the most important of these sites can be found in the contributions of General Clark as explanatory footnotes to early chapters of Mohawk history.

This work consists of translations into English of selected letters from the Relations Jesuits.

For these translations we are indebted to the lamented Dr. Hawley, late pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Auburn.

Guided by the wise advice of General Clark, I was able afterwards to make other independent journeys and familiarize myself with Indian trails passing near my native town.
