Right Rev’d & dear Sir,
Having occasion to send some Copies of a Translation of a work of Dr. Davenant on Justification to your side of the Atlantic--as you had a Copy of my translation of the same author’s Expositio ad Colossenses, I have thought you might like the present work, & beg your acceptance of it. A copy of the second Vol. shall follow.
By a Letter from Bishop McIlvaine, I suffer that the Copy of the Exposition which I sent you when Bishop of Ohio was left in Kenyon College. If so, & you have not obtained another copy of that work, but would take one I will try to procure a copy (not having any myself) & send you with Vol II, of the present work if you will let me know.
Your old friend, [& my] best friend Dear Lady Ross[sic], as you are doubtless aware, has been taken to [her] rest & her reward now some years since. I hope you, my Dear Sir, are enjoying health & strength & seeing the blessing of God rest on your labours. We are strengthening here in troublous times & under gloomy prospects but the Lord reighneth, & will order all for the good of his Church & people, & keep the feel of his [saints].
Praying for every blessing to attend you personally & ministerially, I am Dear & R’t Rev’d Sir
Yours very faithfully
Josiah Allport
