I spent some Days in viewing the Monuments in Westminster Abbey, & taking off some of the Inscriptions in a Journal. amongs the rest I viewed with particular Attention, a magnificent Monument of white Marble erected to the Memory of that Gallant Admiral, your Uncle, Sir Peter Warren: done by the Masterly Hand of Rubiliac; close by the Wall is a large flag hanging to a Flag-Staff, & spreading in natural Folds behind the whole Monument. Before isa fine Figure of Hercules placing Sir Peter's Bust on its Pedestal ; & on the other Side is a Figure of Navigation, with a Laurel-Wreath in her Hand, gazing on the Bust with a Look of Admiration ; behind her a Cornu-Copia pours out Fruit, Corn, Money, a Fleece && And byit is a Cannon and a lable folding very naturaly over an Anchor & many other Decorations.

As it isa Time of Profound Peace. And we have no News here I beg leave to conclude with asking your Pardon for the Prolixity of this Letter. pray give my Compliments to Sir John Johnson, Co! Claus & Lady Co! Johnson & Lady, & all enquiring Friends & Receive this tho' tedious in good Part from

Dear & Worthy Sir Your Friend & Welwisher Sincerely. Won Hanna. To Sir William Johnson.

REVD WM. ANDREWS TO SIR WM. JOHNSON.

Sir

To obviate some peculiar Disadvantages, under which I labour in my present Situation, I made personal Application to You lately for the Mission at Johnstown;--not but that I had turned my views that Way a considerable Time past,--only I was prevented by some Circumstances, which till then had not determined me. However, that there is now a Prospect of having shortly a Gentleman qualified, from Representation, to supply that Place, gives me much Satisfaction ; And I make no Doubt, from the Character given of him, that his Abilities and good sense willenable him to perform his ministerial Duty, in such a Manner, as to prove beneficial to all the good People whom he purposes serving.
