Summary: Their letter [Leeds circuit] was read to those assembled from London East, London West and Deptford circuits and after a very long debate it was agreed by a majority of those present that something ought to be done immediately to support the missions and to ensure that promised funds aren't used elsewhere. However, as a specific plan was not agreed it was decided to meet with all the preachers of the London, Deptford and Brentford circuits next 'Monday sennight' [week Monday]. Therefore Leeds left to its own judgement as to what plan to adopt but will send some information, including from the October [Methodist] magazine.
