REV) HARRY MUNRO TO SIR WM. JOHNSON.

Honourable Sir,

_ [As] Mt Mosely: is in a hurry to leave Town, I/have just time to Salute you & family in the most cordial & respectful manner; assuring you at the same time, that no Distance of time or [place] Shall ever efface those Sentiments of Friendship & Gratitude I [shall] always retain for you. I have been lately in New York, where I collected one hundred Pounds among

friends & Connections, for our poor Church at Albany, which now makes a decent appearance; The old windows being taken down, & new Sashes put in their place. The inside also is [altered] for the Better; & peace & harmony generally prevails amongst us; Notwithstanding [the] malicious Efforts of a certain Cabal [to] disturb our Tranquility, St Peter's [Church] maintains her ground, & increases [in] numbers.
