_P. S._ I know not whether your Grace or the Lord President hath the copy of the _New-Jersey_ College charter. I gave it to Mr. Secretary _Sharp_, in order that your Grace and his Lordship might see it. Mr. _Sharp_ being dead, obliges me to trouble your Grace with this particular: I should not otherwise have taken the freedom.
_Mr._ Whitefield _to the Archbishop_.
_Tottenham-Court, February 12, 1768._
_May it please your Grace_,
AS not only the Governor, Council and Assembly of _Georgia_, have been for a long season, and are now waiting for an account of what hath been done in respect to the affair of the intended _Bethesda_ college, I find myself under a necessity of giving them and the contributors, on this, as well as the other side of the water, a plain narration of the steps I have been taking; and at the same time I intend to lay before the public a draught of the future plan, which, GOD willing, I am now determined to prosecute. And as the letters which I have had the honour of writing to your Grace, contain most of what I have to say on this subject, I suppose your Grace can have no objection against my publishing those letters, together with the answers returned, and the issue of the correspondence. To prevent your Grace’s having further trouble, as I hear your Grace is at present much indisposed, I shall look upon silence as an approbation, at least as a tacit allowance of what is designed by, may it please your Grace,
Your Grace’s most dutiful son and servant, in the King of kings and Lord of lords,
