" Which I place to the debit of your account, and if I do not shortly advise you of luy drafts on you, gentlemen, you will oblige me by remitting the amount, since I have but too frequently to make disbursements for my numerous friends on j'our place. Thus, instead of my making remittances to them, I have on the contrary to make drafts on them ; therefore oblige me by remitting the above sum in ilOO sterling Draft on London, upon receipt of this, as, on reflection upon what I have stated to you, I will not draw upon you. Gentlemen, for anything I received, only on October 27th, via. Rotterdam, your above mentioned package of July 15th. I sent tlie same evening the inclosure to the Church at Haarlem.
Mr. Magnet luis acknowledged its receipt, and informed me that his church has written to ours, to the sexton of which I have myself just remitted your inclosure. With it I enclosed all the letters of the Sieur Menanteau which you have taken the trouble to copy. I postponed until to-day the delivery of your communication to our Consistory, inasmuch as the second meeting of that body i» at present in session. I wish that, at last, there might be due reflection, and tliat I might have the satisfaction to communicate to you in my next an agreeable result. In this expectation, I continue beyond all expression.
" Gentlemen, your very humble and very obedient servant,
"J.vcoB Henry Chabanel."
