The number of our first disturbers is decreased, who have increased our congregation. The door of my heart is always open to reconciliation, as the gates of the church for their reception. The 2nd of April, Easter Day, we had fifty-two communicants ; the 7th of July, fifly ; the seventh of October we had forty-seven. The non. Col. Nicholson being iu these parts in the beginning of the Church settlement in this province, was pleased at his parting to leave in the hands of the Rev. Mr. Vesey, rector of the church of New York, a bill of £20, to be distributed among the ministers of the Province, who being then in convention at New York, Mr. Vesey declared it to the Assemoly, which was of seven of us, and as they were about calculating how much it was for every one, one of the brethren being generously moved towards me, who had then nothing for my support but the poor contribution of New Rochelle, he said, the Brother Bondet is the poorer of us. let him have the whole -- to which all consented : but this disorder of the affairs of the prayer assigned, hath caused the bill to be unpaid, till of late that Mr. Vesey informed me that he had finally received the money, remembering also how it was agreed in the before-mentioned convention. I said to him, that Providence having since relieved and comforted me by the favour of the Honorable Society, that I was remitting my pretension to the gift to procure glass to our church, which Mr. Vesey liked very well."6
