Scope and Content

Copy letter from Cullompton, Devon, to the Missionary Committee for Finance and Advice, detailing Mr Burgess's complaint that the list of subscriptions raised from the Redruth circuit, Cornwall, as reproduced in the last report, was misrepresented, and had therefore to be concealed from the subscribers.

Mr Lisk is unable to join the Lewes and Brighthelmstone Mission, and Coke recommends Richard Moody of the Shepton Mallet Circuit, as a replacement.

Coke describes his late arrival with Mrs Coke in Taunton, Somerset, before going on the same night to Cullompton where he has opened a new chapel.

Reference is made in detail to Coke's loan of ,C100 in 1793 to the Jamaica Society, and the complex issues that had resulted.

Mrs Coke is 'leavening the land with practical tracts'.
