C.M. House, London
August 16th, 1815
My Dear Sir
	Since mine of the 12th I have conversed with Mr Youl on the best means of extending the influence of our Society in your quarter of the world. We thought that a Circular Letter addressed by me to the Clergy, with a copy of the “Spirit of British Missions” (of which six Copies are forwarded to you) with some Tracts and Papers, for yourself and the letters &c might have a good effect. I have accordingly directed a small packet to be made up with a Circular requesting co-operation with our designs, and have addressed one to each of the following clergy— Messrs Cowper, Cartwright, Fulton, Vale, and Knopwood. I have, however, requested Mr Youl to confer with you on the subject.
	You will be glad to receive that worthy man back in the character of a brother Clergyman.
I am, Dear Sir,
Your affectionate friend,
(Signed) Josiah Pratt [f]
P.S.  I send you some Tracts and Papers which may serve for distribution.
	George Bruce, whom I mentioned in my last, has been refused a passage by Government, on the ground of representations unfavourable to his return from Governor Macquarie.
	Mr Youl will tell you of a clergyman named Holmes, an excellent man, who is thinking of coming out to you, to assist your designs.
