J thank God I am very well beloved by all the Gentlemen of sense honor and virtue in this Province k if the Honb'« Society will be pleased to nominate me as Missionary in the room of M^" Poycr By the assistance of God the merit of a good cause & a laithful application no doubt but that 1 shall be able to obtain tlijs continuation of the Salary to the Missionary of Jamaica and perliaps recover what is already lost notwithstanding the number cunning and power of our adversaries this I leave to the consideration of the Society & hope they will either remove me to Jamaica or by a yearly bounty put me on an equal footing with my neighbouring Missionaries which I am persuaded will be thought botii a modest and a reasonable request. Ee so good as to liiy this before the Society at their next meeting which will add very much to your former favors of this kind. Iam&,«
