Transcript

[Fragment]

Your affectionate wishes for the increase of attachment betw’n good Mr. Wiggin & me, are rapidly realizing. I am just united with him in the District C[?] for promoting this knowledge at Manchester. [Our] new Bishop at Chester has been [attacked] by us both to support Ohio, & I anticipate that in due time he is [?] sure to do so. Our friend Wiggin is about to send his son to a Tutor where Judge Park had a son, at Ealing I think, near London. I am quite glad our friend is so drawn forward at Manchester on such an occasion. He was highly pleased with our new Bishop, for a reason [?] to them both, on account of the zeal piety & good [sense] of the Bishop. Be not afraid my very dear Bishop that any wish of yours which I can attend to will be neglected or not attended to with delight. I think our excellent friend G.W. Marriott is his [?] favorite, but I know he is good Dr. G. likewise as well as other [?]; & I can never be jealous of so valued & kind a friend. I must beg my grateful thanks to Mrs. Chase for her kind sentiments tow’ds me & mine, & can assure her she will have much [ado] to respect & love her [our] Bishop more than do my family & your ever obliged & affectionate friend,

Kenyon
