24th May 1711. Rev[eren]d Sir, I am to thank you for your last kind Letter of the 26th July 1710 from New York, which I had acknowledged sooner if I cou’d have told you that we had rec[eiv]ed such an acco[un]t of the state of the Church from the E[arl] of Clarendon, as you seem to promise, but of which we have yet heard nothing, so that that Task will fall to Your share, by whom I doubt not but it will be very acceptable to the Society who have had so great a regard to the Character you gave of Mr Huddleston that they have thought fit to continue his Salary of 10£ for teaching 40 poor Children gratis of which however you will be pleased to take care that he shall return Certificates annually under the seal of New York City. Sr I was in hopes that Mr Ross wou’d have told you himself the good effects of Your inter- Mr Vesey

ceding with the Society in his behalf which was the sending him back to Chester with a handsome allowance, but now I shall give you the first advice of it I believe, as well as his being taken into France, concerning which I desire you wou’d comfort his poor Wife and family, that as soon as the Society heard thereof they heartily recommended his Case to the Queens Com[missione]rs for the Exchange of Prisoners and made him an immediate remittance of Money so that we dayly expect to see him \in/ London. I shall not trouble you with more at present only beg of You to continue your kind Correspondence which will always be very acceptable to
