institution such as the Bible Society, of which he, Cunningham, was
an active member. He accordingly addressed {93a} to the secretary, the Rev. Andrew Brandram, the following letter: LOWESTOFT VICARAGE, 27th Dec. 1832. MY DEAR FRIEND, - A young farmer in this neighbourhood has introduced me to-day to a person of whom I have long heard, who appears to me to promise so much that I am induced to offer him to you as a successor of Platt and Greenfield. {93b} He is a person without University education, but who has read the Bible in thirteen languages. He is independent in circumstances, of no very defined denomination of Christians, but I think of certain Christian principle. I shall make more enquiry about him and see him again. Next week I propose to meet him in London, and I could wish that you should see him, and, if you please, take him under your charge for a few days. He is of the middle order in Society, and a very produceable person. I intend to be in town on Tuesday morning to go to the Socy. P. C. K. On Wednesday is Dr Wilson's meeting at Islington. He may be in town on Monday evening, and will attend to any appointment. Will you write me word by return of post, and believe me ever Most truly and affectionately yours, |
