When I left London I positively saw my Salary settled in the venerable Society's Books at £50 Sterling a year, and I then express'd my-surprize that it exceeded my Expectations by £10, as I knew you had been pleased to have had even that annexed to what it formerly was --But by a Letter from Doctor Burton, & from the Abstracts for this Year, I learn it really is no more than £40, which together with what my Congregation give, which is £40 Curerncy, is quite insufficient to support me.--Indeed the people subscribe as largely & willingly as they possibly can. Tn short, they contribute ali in their Power to make me live easy, and I do every Thing I can to please them, by doing my Duty amongst them.

What ¥ only wish for, is, that the venerable Society wou'd please to add something to My Income, either on Account of the School, or because of the Poverty of the Mission.--For, I believe I may safely pronounce it to be one of the poorest Missions on the Continent.--Still I wou'd not wish to appear discontented, for I am far from being so--I only desire to have my Income so settled, in a moderate Way, That I can make it barely satisfy my few Wants.
