Rev’d + Dear Sir
At a meeting of the [Warden] / + Vestry of St. Bartholomew’s Church held / a day or town since, the desire was expressed / with entire unanimity, that you would / take change of our Parish during the absence / of the Rector, Rev’d Mr. Balch _ And we / were deputed with others to ascertain / whether it would be agreeable to you / to do so _
We think it may suit your / arrangements to comply with the / wishes of our Vestry, as we are persuaded / your consenting to supply mr Balch’s / place during his absence, would be a / source of much satisfaction to the / congregation _ We believe you will /
[END OF PAGE 1]
Find the duties of the station not at all / burdensome _ as many of the Congregation at / this season of the year are absent from / the City -
Very Respectfully
+Truly your Friends
