Summary
Explaining how unable his Congregation is to raise the funds needed to build a Church; saying he would like to take advantage of his offer to have his congregation in Boston take up a collection for his building; saying he would be glad to travel to Boston to appear at his Church "for I presume they will not be alarmed at the appearance of so harmless a B'p as I am;" adding that he is "sensible of the justness of all your remarks & observations except one--the no necessity of another B'p in New England."
