         We see by the Magazines you have had some Correspondce wth our dr Bror Carey at Serampore – A young Man, who is going with his wife to join them is obliged to get to New York to get passage – We recommend him to your cordial friendship, as one whom we think to be a partaker of the right Missionary Spirit – receive them therefore accordingly, my dear Bror – and if they want any assistance in a pecuniary Way, you may be assured that Bror Chamberlaines Drafts will be punctually paid, by the Treasurer of the Society in England

         They can tell you many particulars of the last new from yr East Indies, as well as what concerns ourselves – I must only subscribe my self in haste Your cordial Bror
