Joseph Angus, Baptist Mission House, London, to Thomas Raffles, Liverpool, 28 November 1844.

My dear Sir,

   You were kind enough last year to hold out the hope of your being able to preach one of our Anniversary Sermons next Spring, & by a Resolution passed at our Meeting today I have now the pleasure to ask whether you can take our Morning Sermon. The time is some day in the last week in April & the place the Poultry Chapel I sincerely hope you will be able to gratify us in this particular

               & am My dear Sir,

                           very sincerely Yours,

                                       Joseph Angus

Rev. Dr Raffles.
