My dear sir,
I have to thank you, which I do sincerely, for your letters. A person will leave this place for Liverpool on Tuesday by whom I shall write more at length. In the meantime I can only say that my exactions shall be used to forward the subscription & in the great work you proposed. I have just received through my [?] the letter to Lord Kenyon and two statements I return you the copy of the letter to Lady Rosse with which you were so kind as to favour me. I deeply regret not seeing you & were it not for the interference of an engagement connected with the health of a dear child I would go to Liverpool to meet you. However self must be sacrificed — and when it is work subdirect we are most happy. I am just sending off a dear Sunday School Scholar. He has given up all for Christ. [crossed out].
Believe me to be,
My dear sir,
Yours faithfully
Peter Roe
