My dear Friend
			I trust / DV / to beat the Church Miss.n Comtee on Monday next - & as there will be probably some arrangements relative ot Mr Kendall – I think right to apprise you as the principal agents of the Socty that I hope the Comtee have no intention & giving Mr Butler a superintendency ovr Mr Kendall _ _ Mr B is not a man to be entrusted with such power; he is far too hasty & injudicious - & wd render the patient meek persevering spirit of Mr Kendall completely uncomfortable___ They are both [f] friends of mine, both of Bentinel [?] Congregation, both pious zealous men; but I conceive they ought to be both independent of each other _ & that the supplies for the settlement should be forward direct to the parties; otherwise it will be injur-rious to the Mission, & particularly the Schools, which for want of regular supplies are sadly fallen off; I will bring with me on Monday some arrangements for their mutual comfort, inde pendence, which I trust the Society will adopt —; but as you are more fully acquainted with these rules off [?ink smudge] [f] – I thought it best just to apprize of my general idea, that you might turn it in your mind in the interim ___ Do not trouble yourself to write – I hope to be with you before the Comtee meet on Monday ___ I dined yesterday with Shunghee as I believe to day Mr Mortlock will have the goodness to introduce them to the King, whom they express great desire to see ______ I am in haste 
Yours very faithfully
