Rev.d & dear Sir.
After you went away yesterday I thought
of the Neceſsity of your meeting Soon
to Solicit Gen.l Johnſon &c. and propoſd
to M.r Pomeroy his meeting M.r Saltar
at your House the Wedneſday after next
but on further thought, apprehend it will
be better it Should be next Wedneſday. for If
M.r Occom Should go on his proposed Miſs.n
I think the Sooner the better —
And as I cant yet be fully Satiſfied of the
pollicy or Prudence of an application to ſir
William
according to the vote we have
made; perhaps it may be as well, if your
addreſs be Sent by M.r Occom, and ſir William
be only told that Such an Application was
Deſigned, and [illegible][guess: Endeavours be] my Application
be made only by writing — but M.r Whitaker
is able more fully to repreſent what is
proposed, and my Difficulty in the Affair.
or perhaps when the Comtee are to gather, you will
think it beſt to Appoint Some other to go in my
Room w.c I Sho.d be glad you do. You will pleaſe to notify M.r Saltar. &
if you dont Object I will notify M.r Pomroy
I am. Rev.d & dear Sir. yours &c Eleazar Wheelock
To Rev.d Sol. Williams
July. 4.th 1765.
