description Found it necessary to cease his journeys across the Atlantic and has decided to reside in 'the States of America'. Therefore wishes to settle his financial affairs in Europe as soon as posible as may return to America from Ireland about the middle of July. Asks Williams to take up the Coyty mortgage and to settle this matter with Mr Collins, Att[orne]y at Law in London. Excluding his library (worth two to three hundred pounds) has only the mortgage remaining as other finances spent on evangelising. Therefore needs the mortgage funds in America. Suggests he could have been in better finances but 'I have long consecrated all I am & have to God: & the many thousands of poor heathens I have been the instrumment of bringing to Christ'. Restates the need of his funds (by June) and his desire to settle outstanding debts. Will resign his place in the Common Council of Brecon.
