Dear Friends,
Your several Letters of
3mo 24th & 4mo 21st having
been duely received were read in a mee-
ting of the Committee on the 18th.
Ultimo., there general contents be-
ing acceptable and satisfactory. Your
prospect of an increasing desire of
improvement among the Natives,
affords encouragement to persevere in
the Task allotted us, tho’ in its nature
arduous, and not unattended with dif-
ficulties, which it is however hoped
may prove temporary & surmount-
able. Your apparent lively dedication
to the service before you, mingles a
pleasing sensation with our Sympathy
and
