Revd Sir
Since my last of Oct 16 1759 I baptized 206 White children & 3 black: on the 4th & 6th inst there were above 50 Communicants in
this Parish. For some years past this Province has been running into great disorder & confusion Sectaries prevail in many Parishes. the last Assembly would not pass a new vestry act. there is nothing like the administration of Justice among us. A Silly fellow that headed a mob against the Earl of Granville, his Land office is put into the commission of the Peace. I this day draw for my Salary from Michs 1759 to Lady day 1760 & amRevd Sir
Your most obdt Humble Servant
JAMES MOIR
