Albany June 25, 1771. Honble Sir,

Having' so favourable an opportunity, by my good Friend Mt Joseph Brent, I beg Leave to present my best Respects to you &all the family, and to inform you, that the Rev4 Mr? Inglis of New York has wrote you by me; The Letter has been Sent by your Post, & I hope, is come safe to hand. You have heard, I

understand, of some foolish people, that have been endeavouring »

to disturb 'the peace of my Congregation ; and am sorry to learn, that my Conduct in that affair, has not been represented to you in the most favourable light. The whole affair was so silly & ridiculous, that I did' not think it worth while to trouble you with an account thereof. I intend soon however, to wait upon you Sir, at the Hall ; till then I trust to your Candour, that you

will Suspend any Judgement of the matter, till you hear my:
