Description:

Smith sends the Archbishops full approbation of Peters’ appointment. Smith has persuaded the clergy in England that a journey to England is not necessary for the appointment of clergy in the colonies but rather a letter of approbation enough. He asks that the Trustees pay a bond in his name to the heirs of Mr. Robeson. Smith will reimburse the College with interest upon his return. He still plans to go to Ireland and cannot determine when he will return to America.
