Summary
Acknowledging receipt of the "remaining sheets of the prayer-book;" saying that the "long lost Sermons" have arrived and he proposes to have them printed; adding that he had "consulted some of the members of the late Convention concerning the Prayer books - they think it would be imprudent to order any great number before the Book is adopted by the Episcopal Church in this State;" saying that he thinks he should be able to "dispose of about one hundred copies previous to our State Convention" and asks that they be sent to him "ready bound."
