Encloses £100 and hopes to send another £100 before he leaves. Received none of the letters sent to him in Liverpool. Will print a circular letter on Mr Ollivier preaching to 500 or 600 French prisoners aboard the St Nicholas. Wants to settle wife's marriage settlement and suggests the two estates be secured for the jointure of £750 per annum and all the property he leaves at his death, except £1000, be secured as a guarantee. If approved then the Iford or Farleigh Park Estate [Wiltshire] and associated properties to go, by deed, ultimately after his death to the Preacher's Fund. Further, the Broughton or Frying Pan estate [Wiltshire], if his just right to it is correct, should also go to the Preachers' Fund. All other income and personal property (bar £1000 for funeral expenses, legacies & debts) should also be left to the Preacher's Fund.
Hopes he has received £500 from Mr Drew and £100 from Joseph Loxdale. Discusses Holloway's poor eyesight and a cure suggested by Coke's wife which will be sent to him. Coke also suggests his cure, gives details and recounts its successes. Will send, with his remarks, Mr Paris's long letter. He & Mrs Coke have been visiting places on Cornish coast.
