Part 9

When you publish the recent contributions from Scotland, I will thank you to acknowledge the kindness which Mr. Flood and myself experienced throughout our tour. At Edinburgh, at Glasgow, at Dunfermline, at Kirkaldy, at St. Andrews, at Dundee, at Perth, at Aberdeen, and at many other places; in short, every where that we went, we were received with the greatest cordiality. More pulpits were open to us than we had time or strength to occupy, and we were compelled to pass unvisited some towns and villages where we had reason to believe we should have found a hearty welcome. The thanks of the Committee are especially due to the ministers of the Seceding, Independent, and Relief denominations, for the readiness with which they admitted us to preach and collect in their congregations. Among those churches also which are known technically as Scotch Baptists, we found much to admire and esteem; and nothing but more frequent intercourse with each other appears necessary to create between us and many of their ministers, entire communion an fraternal confidence.

I am yours truly, =W. Grosef=.
