Property "Has letter" (as page type) with input value "Mr. Charles Read
Kind Sir, I am really to seek what to write to my Lord of London before I have heard from you; to tell him that I find no incouragement to move upwards, will be enough to satisfy his Lordship, why I have not accepted of his Lordship's offer; but this account, I fear, will neither be very agreeable unto him nor make, perhaps for the interest of the Church at Philadelphia. That that Church, therefore, may not suffer through me, or by reason of any represenatation of mine, in her honour, or welfare, I beg you would give me some Light into this matter; and truely resolve me in this point of encouragement. Shall I write my Lord, that I found little or no encouragement, to settle at Philadelphia, or if this may not be said, shall I acquaint his Lordship that there was encouragement indeed offered me, but that I did not think fit accept of it; this latter account I had rather give, as believing it will please better and be more for the credit of the Gentlemen of the Church above; but neither this, nor the former account, can be offered by me, until I am favored with a relation of what progress you and your Brother Church Warden have made in pursuance of the Vestry's order: Pray, satisfy me in this particular, as soon as possible, that I may get ready my letters, with all convenient speed. I do not utterly decline moving, according to my Lord's proposals, that is when it does appear to me to be what his Lordship calls it, a promotion; but till then I shall endeavour to make myself easy in my present station; and at all times own my obligations to those who do not only wish but heartily study my [unclear] and prosperity etc. G.
