Reterend Sir, -- You expect, I presume, some intimations concerning the place and people where, as your substitute, 1 serve the cure ; after tedious deliberation, I thought to give your worship the following notice, viz. : -- As far as the winter extremities, the inconiiguity of country houses, and private necessities do permit, our churches enjoy full congregations, the people being reverent and observant, and lovers of the desk as well as pulpit. I know not one perfect dissenter ; only Mr. Andrews, of Lainden, once held a conventicle in his house since my coming. The appearance at C'hristmas communion was tolerable -- abont twenty persons: and we hope Easter will exceed. Our school- is occupied by a licensed, grave, and good man. All officers for church and town are legally qualified, i. e. men honest, able, judicious. All church ornaments and repairs are exact, except only Barseldon, where two casualties are fallen, viz. : the bell roof is ready to drop, and one side of the church needs shoring; the total charges are pre-estimated about fifty pounds. As for my own acceptance and success, it is not wholly in vain, praised be God ! 1 know not one drunkard nor swearer amongst us, except only Gaffar Fryer of Lainden, who on many accounts forgets piety but especially by swearing and miserableness. My Lord Bishop of London urges the duty of catechising with much fervor; I shall begin on the 17ih of Feb. next, being the first Sunday in Lent; but my lord (when I sued out a license.) did profess lent season too short for such a work, and hardly endured to have the matter contested. Our parishes have not observed perambulations for several years; I suppose it will be convenient to stir them thereto against the 5lh of May next, Rogation Siuiday.
