as to approve it & I believe recommended it to Lord Hillsboro -
Your Letter however is what I place all my hope on of having
any attention paid to this Scheme by Government; altho I
thought it my Duty to write the Society that they would join in
urging this Business; particularly the Lord Bishop of Oxford,
who has lately favoured me with a Letter, & to whom I have
communicated largely my Sentiments on this subject. God
Grant that the Steps taken\ may be attended with success.
There are few earthly objects that would give me more sincere
Pleasure.
Dr Cooper is saild. He was very thankful for the friendly
notice you took of him in your Letter to Lord Hillsborough, &
desired to be affectionately remembered to you. He was on the
point of embarking when Sir John & Col. Johnson came to Town,
& I have been sd constantly employed in assisting to prepare
addresses to go by him from the Clergy & the College, & in
moving to the College, that I have been deprived much more of
the Pleasure of their Company than I would'Chuse. Indeed
their Friends were so glad to see them, after so long an Absence,
that they were almost continually out, & I could only spend a
Couple of Evenings with them. There is an affair relative to
Kirtland, the Indian Missionary, which I have mentioned to Col.
Johnson to be communicated to you, not thinking it safe to commit it to writing. You are the only Person that can accomplish
it, and it requires much Delicacy.
Your approbation of the Memorial gives me much Pleasure.
But in Reality if it has any Merit, It should be placed to your
own Account; as I only arranged the Materials with which you
supplied me; & this I mentioned both to, Mr Tryon & the
Society.
By this Time I hope you are returned safe. from your Excursions into the Indian Country. That every Felicity may attend
you-& that you may be long continued a Blessing & an ornament to this Country, is the sincere Wish & Prayer of,
Worthy Sir,
Your most affectionate
much obliged & very humble Servt
To Sir WTi Johnson CHARLES INGLIS.
