Yours of the
26.th
Aug:st came safe to hand Enclosing
2 Draughts One for £100 — — — the other £103 — —
and yours
of y
e
22.d ult came safe w.
th one for £56 — — — — no doubt you rec
d mine acknowledge
g
y
e receipt of y
e former 3
^draughts^ in one letter — but as I have them all now before
me they are
One of £151..10..6 another of £40 and y
e other of £15—
theſe Six draughts is the whole I've rec
d since your leaving
England— indeed
it is wonderfull how the Lord opens the Hearts of people. I hope it is a
sure Token of the
Work being his, and that He intends to bleſs it accordingly.
You have I suppose last week &
y
e week before, rece
d from
M.r Oliver a full supply of Narratives & Letters — I always send to him
immediately — — —
—
M.r Mason of
Connecticutt
& another or
2 is to set off To Morrow morning for
Sheffield—
to settle matters with
M.r Occom — I see no likelihood of his succeeding or
indeed of ever
finishing y
e matter he is come about, and
Mr Smith with my Self
& others
think he should not depend for Money on
M.r Occom — nor any other way
on y
e work we are engag'd in — he has had 40 Guineas of me & is so
neceſsitous, that he could dispence with 400 — —
M.r Occom must be desir'd
to act cautiously, least he make himself a principal & disoblige
Mr Wheelock
& all his
Connecticut Friends
— I don't write this out of any dislike to
M.r Mason but that
M.r Occom
& you might be carefull in all engagements
