Letter from William Smith to Richard Peters, Mar. 1, 1763
- Description
- Smith grows impatient for an Address of Thanks for the Archbishop and other matters not yet attended to by the Trustees. Smith will write shorter accounts to Peters and the Trustees. Smith is working hard at gaining support of preachers to give sermons. Dr. Jay retains only a few acquaintances in the clergy and therefore can be of little help. He feels Duché, would be worth three of Jay. Smith is eager to return to his family and hope that the Trustees will give him discretionary powers to decide when his mission has been completed. Nevertheless he promises to take their orders seriously either way.
