Eldrs You[n]g & Richards

Dear Brethren

you see we have not yet
quite to London but expect to go on Monday we have a camp meeting
on the morrow. I have a few words I want to say to you in
particular ie the money which Broth[er] Benbow has lent for the printing

They are willing we should make use of for the gathering of the Saints
but they wish their friends to share first in it if if they come into
the church before we go to America their has been no writing
passed between u[s] upon the subject anyway, they still have our
recepts for the money you can make what arangements you
think proper with them concerning it, or make such inquiries of them
about it as you may think necessary. I am enjoying good health & the
Brethren with me. I have not sa[i]d any thing to any [one] about
that money matter excepting to Broth[er] & Sister Benbow,
please not send any more letters to me at Ledbury but we will
inform you whare to send to us in London

myy respect to Sistr Richards & all the Saints who inquire

I ever remain yours in the Everlasting covenant
