apprehensive it may for a short time
probably interrupt that
progress towards
civilization which has heretofore been
so
conspicuous amongst them
The committee are aware that in
the prosecution of this concern
difficul
ties and discouragements will most
likely often occur-
It is a great &
important work which cannot be
effected but
with time, yet they feel strength
end in the belief that as friends
endeavour
to abide patiently under the weight of the
concern it
will continue to progress &
they humbly trust be finally crowned
with
success
We have examined the Treasurers
a/c and find a balance in his hands
of
$829 66/100 exclusive of the money recd. from
our brethren of
Great Britain
Signed on behalf of the committee Evan Thomas
