Revd & dear Sir
For some days past I have been very unwell The cholera attacked me very hard but thanks to a Divine Providence I am again restor'd to Health & at your Service I instructed my Book Keeper to answer your Last Letter, which he informs me he did. I must here confirm his words, vz, some of those Books are not only Insured but appear to have been used.
Its strange not one of the members of the Portuguese Congregation seem willing to buy any of your Preyer Books. now I presume If there was none here they would be forwarding their Orders to you or elsewhere for various Books yet here they are & not a soul needs them. I am happy to inform you the ?etcher Books are moving I sent Emanuel Mobile 1 Doz Four of each price & have left 7 c2.75—11 c 2 50
& 4 c $3.00—these Books will sell here all the year round. I see them at your Invoice price
I was notified by Barnett ? & a De Young (not positive of the latter) that the December No of the Occident did not reach them but the January Number is at hand & I have waited on the two first Gentlemen & find they are in receipt of their number for this present month.
I beg to return you for my most Sincere thanks for your notice of our Loan on Whole Congregation will feel themselves your Debtors. The Revd Mr Carrolina has now been here some time endeavouring to obtain the office of Reader to the Portuguese Congregation It is still expected Mr Nathan will come but should he decline the Revd Carrolina will not suceed He is very unpopular—
I have given to Joseph Turner the Numbers 1c10 of this Volume of the Occident. send him the
next number when it comes out (February) & send me the 10 numbers I give to Him. add his name to your List of subscribers. I will collect their money & with what I trust soon to be enabled to send you from the sale of your Books I will add the amount of those subscribers I have obtained I shall obtain all the subscribers I possibly can & now Sir I must come to a hasty conclusion Pardon this scrawl my Business occupying so much of my time gives me but a few moments to private correspondence
Believe me to
remain your
Sincere Well Wisher
