Revd V Hond Sir,

Mr Sam Gilbert your Pupil aplied to me last fall for Liberty to teach to the Yarmouth? & Dartrussiand? indians which I readily allowed and he hath behaved in his friendlick? & joviale? character in such a manner as to do honor to your College.

The State of our publick? affairs have hitherto prevented his receiving any stipend for his services which in 30 unclear, but I hope that in this journey he will meet with Mr. Phillips the Commissioner Treasurer at Norwich and if he has received any money a bill of L22:20? which will be due the 13th of this instant will be paid to M. Gilbert. I write in the greatest hope and can only add that I am with the greatest regard yr most humb Servt,
