The favour I ask of you, Sir, and the Honorable Society, is, that you would be so good as to get me such an order from the said Society as you shall judge most proper for the payment of my arrears ; and if it be Her Majesty's good pleasure to confirm to me what two Governours, by the advice of the Council, have ordered as a necessary provision for my subsistance, viz., A 30 out of ner Majesty's revenue, and that pension be paid to me quarterly according to the time of its establishment. If I obtain this favour of the Honourable Society, I shall be obliged to you for having contributed thereunto by your representation according to your justice and charity. I pray God to give us the opportunity of giving satisfaction to that venerable body (whereof you are a member) by the joyful tidings of the great progress which the Gospell makes in these parts, through their great care and piety. I have seen with pleasure the beginning of Sir. Neau's exercises, as also, from time to time, the progress and good order of his proselytes. It were to be wished that the civil powers would take the same care of the slaves in the country. I have often proposed this to our company, among whom there are several slaves; the poor creatures might easily receive the same edification by the care of the minister in their several places ; if that was recommended in such a manner that the servants, the masters and pastors, might understand that this order which our superiors require is both reasonable and just. I should be always ready, if it pleased the Lord with nis help, to discharge my duty and follow the directions which shall be given me by my superiors, for whom I will continue to pray heartily that God would direct them how to labour successfully in all things for the advancement of His glory in the midst of His people, and that He would please to continue unto 3rou life and grace to further His work in your generation.
