Extent1 doc.
Date1825
Description4 May: Hopes Phipps will decide to settle near London where he can keep in touch with Indian affairs; is disturbed that Pratt has treated some of his private correspondence as official "it will nearly put an end to that kind of correspondence"; felt very deeply about the Old Church Calcutta [Kolkata]; the idea of giving it to CMS without adequate provision for its financial support shows a lack of foresight in the trustees and revealed some impatience in T[homason]; misses Pirton, who in similar matters shrank from no labour or trial; expects to return to Calcutta [Kolkata] in six weeks; Col. Skinner proposes building church at Delhi; H. Fisher hopes to be appointed chaplain at Delhi; regrets opposition to Naval and Military Bible Society; SPCK cannot supply demand for bibles; asks for £10 worth of tracts published by the Bristol Church of England Tract Society; native population here is not particular about food as the people of the plains, but is even more superstitious
