Letter

Scope and Content

From London, to Robert Wheeler in Brighton, Sussex, declaring that if Brother Taylor has been offered a job in his own trade, then it would not be right to stand in his way. Benson is confident that he can "provide for the mission" by April 3rd, but Wheeler must let him know of Taylor's intentions at least a fortnight before that date.

The decision to purchase a plot of land in Littlehampton, for the erection of a chapel rests with the District meeting, but it would be useful if Wheeler could provide Benson with some relevant statistics, including the population of the town, numbers currently attending preaching, and the state of membership of the Society.
