description States they are kindred spirits. Hopes he will be shown his path soon. Much need to spread the Gospel and much good work being done on the island. Baptists being falsely represented as have been forced to worship in woods as not permitted to worship more formally. Preaching in Kingston is difficult. Visited Mr Cook in Kingston who is much changed and more critical of missionaries then before but says he will help the author get a licence to preach. Went with Mr Compere to visit the Methodist missionaries in Kingston: Mr [John] Wiggins and Mr & Mrs [John] Shipman. They are happy and conduct themselves in good order as well as having done much good in the country. Methodists have large chapels at Kingston, Spanish Town and Morant Bay which are all well attended but Spanish Town is not licenced. Worthy of their success, particularly given the afflicitions they have suffered in the past. Author hopes to preach from a rented room in Old Harbour Bay if he can get a license. Suggests the purchase of land between Rose Hall and the Lodge to build a mission house.
