Gentlemen,
The Reverend Mr. Drage who is lately arrived from England, warmly recommended to me, waits on you to officiate in your parish for the space of two or three months, at the expiration of which time should he give satisfaction in his sacred calling, and his situation
prove agreeable to him I propose to give him Letters of Presentation and Induction to your parish agreeable to the petition of sundry of the Inhabitants of your county delivered to me when I was at Salisbury. I am Gentlemen your very obedient Servant,
