you would pleafe to think Richmond a proper place, and
confidering the great number of people that live below it, and
would pay their Devotions there, that would not care to go
fo much higher, I can't but think it would be agreeable to
moft of the people, and if they will agree to have it there, I
will give them two of the beft lots, that are not taken up, and
befides give them any Pine Timber they can find on that
Side Shockoe Creek, and Wood for burning of Bricks into the
bargain. I hope the Gent. of the Veftry will believe me a
Friend to the Church when I make them the Offer, and that
I am both theirs,
