Copy letter from Coke and Francis Asbury in Greensville County, Virginia, to John Dickenson of Wilmington, Delaware asking for a renewal of a grant of land [unspecified location], as the original deed has been lost. The grant should be made out to Jacob Baker, Thomas Haskins and Caleb North, merchants of Philadelphia, on behalf of the recently constituted fund for the support of travelling preachers in the mountains and the Western Territories, and for the assistance of superannuated preachers and the orphans and widows of preachers.
In a postscript Coke states that it had been his intention to visit Dickenson in person, but he must return to England. He returns to the United States in twelve months and will pay his respects then.
