I beg of you, Sir, to present my most humble duty to that honourable body and thank them for the honour they have been pleased to do me, and may assure them that I shall not only endeavour to give them satisfaction as to any thing they shall desire of me ; but if any new matter occurs, which I believe may be of service to the Church, I will not fail laying it before them for their consideration.

If I mistake not the several heads you desire satisfaction of in both your letters now before me are, first, An exact and impartial account of all your Ministers -- Secondly, what fruit may be expected from M"^ Moor's mission -- Tliirdly, what my tlioughts are of sending M^ Dellius into those parts again -- Foui'thly, my opinion of the Society's having appointed that good man, M' Elias Neau as Catechist to the Negroes and Indians and the Cause of misunderstanding betwixt him and Mi*. Vesey.

As to the first, I must do aU the gentlemen v.hich you have sent to tliis Province that Justice as to declare that a better Clergy were never in any place, there being not one amongst them that has the least stain or blemish as to his life or conversation, and though I am not an eye witness to tlic actions of any save those in this County, yet I omit no opportunity of enquiring into their behavioui', both of the friends and enemies of the Cliurch, and they aU agree as to the Character of the gentlemen ; and that they use their best endeavours to gain over the people. And as to their diligence in the faithful discharge of tlieir trust, the society I hope will in their instructions have laid down such rules as they wont fail coming at it witliout being imposed on.
