Summary
Concerning Dr. Murray; saying that he is "afraid the conversation you were witness to in England may have raised expectations in the Dr. which it will not be in my power to gratify;" saying he mentioned "his Situation to some Gentlemen of Influence in the Church of N. Jersey and that it was probable he would have no aversion to become their Bp. provided he was duly elected;" saying that he had "no encouragement to press or to resume the subject;" adding that the "same causes which prevented the election of Mr. Beach will I am convinced be a bar for some time to their choosing any other person."
