Bartow did us also the favour to meet us at Mr. Bondet's, and his congregation heing desired to be at church, after the service had been performed by Mr. Bartow, and a very good sermon preached to them by Mr. Sharp, the heads of their congregation desired Mr. Bondet to read and present me with a paper, returning me thanks for my endeavours in settling them in their religious affairs, which I send you herewith. Whereupon, those gentlemen of the clergy and I did advise them to address the Society ; acquainting them with their resolution of conforming to the rules and discipline of the Church, to pray their assistance in supporting their minister, and to send them a number of common prayer books in the ffrench language, which is here enclosed, and also an instrument in ffrench, being a declaration of their inclinations to conform to the rules of the Church. We all of us promised them not only to recommend them in the best maimer we could, hut also to prevail with Col. Nicholson and Col. Morris to do the like. I believe I need not use many arguments to persuade the Societ y to do what they can conveniently for them; for Mr. Bondet, besides his serving the people of New Rochelle, will be of great use in assisting the ministers of the other Parishes -- and not only that, but if these people are favourahly received and encouraged, it will be a great means to influence the ffrench congregation in New York likewise to conform ; and I am not without hopes of effecting my desired end of having this county divided into three Parishes, by which means we should effectually shut out all sectaries from ever crowding in upon us. I can hardly express how great comfort and satisfaction it is to me to see this work brought near so happy an issue and for which I have been laboring in vain many years ,• and the only thing that obstructed it was. that the Government would not give us leave -- and which was almost the only cause that none of your churches have throve better in this Province.
