Expresses some displeasure with Knox's service, but since Murray was able to correct the problem, he has decided to place a new order for books. Also asks where he can reach the Reverend David M'Clure, who was then returning from missionary work with the Delaware Indians in a town on the Muskingum River in Ohio (see GLC02437.00086). Reverend Murray was pastor of the church at Boothbay, in the province of the Massachusetts-Bay.
