Honoured and worthy Gentlemen.
BY our last of 16th instant, we certified you of our purpose to send Mr Peirson's Catechism by the first opportunity to be Printed in England; Since which time; it is come unto our hands but upon further consideration in regard of the hazard of sending, and difficulty of true Printing it; without a fit overseer of the press by one skilled in the language; we have chosen rather to have it printed here; and accordingly have taken order for the same; and hope it will be finished within three months, we have sent you herewith the accounts of this years disbursements in reference to the Indian work, & shall be ready to attend your advice in any particular therein mentioned. Many charges will be daily growing, but we hope there will be sufficient in Mr Ushers hands to discharge the same till the Spring: and for after supply to carry on the work be pleased to take notice that we have drawn upon you three Bills of Exchange of one tenure and date for five hundred ⟨p. 1⟩
