Summary
Sending him two more Half-Sheets of the Prayer Book; asking him to give them "to such Persons as you judge ye most suitable to be informed of our Affairs;" saying he has not heard "what Plan you have adopted for procuring ye Ep: Succession. Tho' you not be able to join in our Measures, I shall still hope that ye Door will not be closed against our future Union in one System. Whether our Application will be successful in England is of Course as yet uncertain;" adding that "The printing of our P. Book will be tedious."
