Summary: Mentions the letters he has received and written recently. Accepts kind invitation to visit him and hopes to set sail in March or April. Plans to attend [Methodist] Conference. Hopes Mr Bradnock arrives soon so he can acquaint him with Society. Mr [William] Fish is in better health. Governor not published any instructions he may have received on 'our law' ['An Act to prevent preaching by persons not duly qualified by Law'] so still holding meetings privately. Nothing from the Assembly yet but hopefully something about 'law' before Christmas. Changes in [Assembly] membership not helpful to cause, new President is 'one of our bitter enemies'. Visited Morant Bay and worshippers still holding on there despite all the disadvantages. Not enough ministers (particularly if Fish leaves). Asks cost of travelling in England.
