Pve room to be pretty certain, that four of y* learned friends, here ; viz, the Rev4 Doctor Aecmody, the Rev4 Doctor Cooper, and ye Revd Messts Inglis & Ogilvie, A. M. will, thro' a true benevolence of heart, recommend me to the notice of y° President of y® Society for propogating y® Gospel, in order to obtain a missionary for our old friendly Chickosahs ; and likewise, their patronage in ye publication of my Indian work.

That, & ye like, I leave to y: own kindness of heart, which always leads and directs you, in support of a: generous cause.
