BISHOP OF LONDON TO THE SECRETARY.

(Extracts.)


Fulham, 12th January, 1711-12.

Sir:—

As to the letter of Baron Graffenreid, whereby you may perceive that they are all ready to conform to the Church of England: if the society will be pleased to allow a stipend for a chaplain to read Common Prayers in High Dutch, I will endeavor to provide one so soon as I have their resolution, which I would willingly hear so soon as possible, that I may send him over with Mr. Rainsford.

I am, sir, yours, etc.,
H. LONDON.
