Much obliged for G.'s great concern and kind expressions about A.'s health. Cannot accept his excuses in the matter of building a church at Cobequid and importing missionary priests without permission of Govt. G. need not wait till the arrival of the missionaries, but may come at once to Annapolis to make the Governor's acquaintance.
