I see M* Stewart frequently he is learning the Indian language and Seems pleased with a Study so necessary to a man in his Situation. And he is much esteemed by the neighbouring White people who frequent his church, and even some of them have sollicited him to perform the rites of baptism and burial, tho' they have a Minister of their own Church. The Indians seem pleased & the School goes on very well.

I cannot but think with you that there is however a Want of becoming zeal amongst many whose duty it is to promote the Interests of the Church, and to procure its members the full Enjoyment of all their rites & Ceremonies, to which they have surely an undoubted title. If other Denominations find free indulgence But as the neglects of Superiors in Church & State must be ascribed to the artifices of those who persuade Men ih Europe that its Members here are few & Inconsiderable Such Notions must I believe be eradicated before much assistance can be Expected.

Dr Burton has not lately wrote me any thing material So that I know not what has been done, respecting my offer of land, or any other matter, perhaps the paquet now daily Expected may bring us something, on these heads. Whatever zeal we want is made up by the abundance of it amongst the Dissenters, who (tho many of them have.as little Religion as any of their neighbours) Support their Cause with all their strength, from maxims of policy, an Example which we should follow, If no other argument has sufficient force. :
