Creator:

Smith, William, 1727-1803 (creator)

Name:

Peters, Richard, 1704-1776

Date:

1763-05-21

Description:

Six or seven parishes remain to be collected. Smith has been far more successful than Jay in raising money. Jay has tried in earnest but his manner and appearance are such that discourage contributions to the same scale as Smith’s success. Jay is further disadvantaged by the fact that he is not a member of the clergy. Smith and Jay are keeping exact records where entries are made in each other’s books and signed authenticating the entry. He concludes with brief and passing remarks regarding the political situation in England.
