MEDDELANDEN OCH AKTSTYCKEN

I send herewith the pamphlet on the Apocrypha and the
Wes-leyan Catechisms which after all our care were left behind, when
you set off. The Temperance Report received this day from
London may also interest you.

or purpose of promoting merely Methodist objects.
Knowing the deep and truly Christian interest Your Excellency
is pleased to take in this matter, I feel it my duty to notice this
device of the enemy by which, if successful, our hopes of doing
good among our Swedish fellow Christians would be at once de-
