Revd Sir,

Please to acquaint your Revd & Honble Society that I have within this Preceeding half year, Baptized in this parish 50 white infants & administered the Sacrament of the Lords Supper to 35 Communicants. I have made 3 Journeys to Berkeley Parish & baptized 60 white & 6 negro Infants. I have been several times dangerously ill, since I wrote to you last, with Pleurisses, Fevers & the Flux, which have very much raged in this Country for several months, which rendered me incapable of Performing ministerial duties in this Parish for a great part of the time & likewise of visiting neighbouring Parishes that are destitute of ministers, as often as I could wish, but thro' the favor & blessing of the giver of all good things, am now perfectly recovered from all my disorders—
