Letter
addressed 'to the Churchwardens of St Mary Bredman in Canterbury'.
Gentleme=
n,
In
compliance with your wish I wrote to the Revd The Minister of Strood - enqu=
iring
into the plans of rebuilding their Church - and I here enclose his answer. I
have to observe that we seem to have occasion merely to notice that part of=
it
- which adverts to the £1000 collected from contributions only made in there
Neighbourhood - from whence I am sanguine enough to hope that if a thou=
sand
pounds could be so obtained round an immediate Neighbourhood, we may
look for success from the circular Letter which I shall beg to propose to be
sent to every Minister in the County, if the Committee approve.
I hope t=
he
parish will enter cordially into this measure - They have my anxious good
wishes, and I shall join their Endeavours to the best of my Power. I am
Gentlemen, yr friend and servant,
