Col. Francis Nicholson, Colonel Heathcote and Colonel Morris, have promised to use their interest with the Venerable Society to have some regard to the just representation of our circumstances which are unable to support the charges of a ministry, having been able to pay to Mr. Daniel Bondet but £20, this country money, per annum -- sometimes more, often less. Notwithstanding which, he hath courageously continued to edify us by his doctrine and irreproveable conversation.

The £30 per annum proposed to be paid him out of the revenue of this Province, hath for several years been unpaid, as will appear by the joynt representation of the said Col. Heathcote and the Reverend Clergy, with an account of the unpaid warrants. The revenue is now expired by its own limitation, and we have no other hope ot support for the maintenance of oiir minister than in your piety and charity, which we beg leave to implore in these- our indigent circumstances, and that you will be pleased to send over a considerable number of common prayer books, in the French language. We are already above one hundred communicants, and if we can enjoy the benefits of an English schoolmaster sent amongst us, we hope we and our posterity daily to improve, under the happy constitution of the English Church and Government.

We conclude with our hearty prayers to God for the peace of the nation, the enlargement and prosperity of the Church, and a blessing on your pious endeavors for promoting the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and are with profound respect, Rt. Reverend, Rt. Honorable and Venerable,
