I brought but two dozen, together with a great number of small tracts, but a much larger number of Prayer Books is required ; as many people in my mission are poor and unable to purchase books or any thing that is not absolutely necessary to the maintenance of their families. I beg leave to acquaint the Society likewise, that, besides the attending the duties of my own mission, I preached last spring, on the next Sunday after Easter, at Woodbury, a town in Connecticut, thirty miles distant from Salem, to a congregation of upwards of one hundred and fifty, who behaved with the greatest decency and devotion -- most of them being professors, and many of them worthy members of our Holy Church. This town, though included iu Mr. Clark's mission, enjoys but a small proportion of his labors, not through any neglect of his, but by means of the extensiveness of his charge ; and yet it is a town containing six parishes of Congregationalists, and part of another ; in all which, there are some professors of the Church earnestly desirous, if possible, to enjoy the public worship of God according to their Holy profession. And in compliance with their earnest intreaties, till something more could be done for the supply of their spiritual wants, several of the Connecticut clergy agreed to preach among them by turns. The summer past, the first Sunday after Trinity, I preached at Sharon, a town in Connecticut adjoining this province, about fifty miles to the northward, where they have a neat little church and a pretty congregation. The next day I preached in the north precinct of the Oblong in this Province, about five or six miles from Sharon. There they have a new church just raised, which they intend to cover in the summer, and finish as soon as might be.
