Description:

Peters responds to fourteen letters he has received from Smith. Peters has found that because every letter contains both business and personal news he could not read one entire letter to the trustees and asks that in the future business letter be written to this end. Peters discusses the rate of exchanges due to silver prices. The trustees feel that Smith should have the College of Philadelphia’s share be made payable to Smith and place this money in the hands of Mr. Barclay. Peters and the trustees would like to see Smith in Philadelphia by Christmas but ask that he be there by April at the latest. Peters expects to leave for England in May. Peters closes with comments on church politics.
