Abercromby had the last mony in his hands on payment of his arrears of Salary, before my Bill came to him that he could not pay it till this years Receipt which began 25 March, so that I am sure by this time it is paid, for I wrote to him last January not on any Acct. to neglect the payment of it out of the first mony reced, so hope there may not be a Complaint of it, at this time. As I always had from the first settling a great Regard for the Interest of Georgia, and no man concernd in the administration in Carolina has done more for the Service of that Collony & always shall, so I hope the Trustees will have two or three months patience by which time I am possitive of the account of the payment of the Bill coming to your hands, which will lay a great obligation on

Dear Sir.
The Honour of your Letters dated the 14th. July of the last, & 29th. of March of this year, we have received with satisfaction, observing very well, that the Honble Trustees take it in good part to be acquainted with the Affairs of our Congregation, & that they are strongly in- clined to go generously on to promote by all possible Means the Colony's & our Settlements Welfare, tho' the present Situation of Affairs, will not permitt the sending over a Number of our Countrey - men to share on the several Preferences, we injoy under the Wings of God's fatherly Providence in our Retirement. May the Almighty God inable the Honble Trustees to continue their praiseworthy Undertaking to promote the Glory of God & the Welfare of many distressed poor people in this Colony. May He distroy by His Almighty power all their & our Ennimies, that Glory may dwell in our Land. Mercy & Truth meet together, Ritheous- ness & Peas kiss each other, & our Land yield further her Increase. Our Duty & Willingness has inclined us to answer sooner, & to give fresh Accounts of our Settlement, if not a Mistake & Error of 2 Chests & 1 Box, mentioned in your

Thomson brought in his Ship besides a large Chests, belonging to the last Colonists, 3 Cases for us, which were directed to the Missionaries at Cudulur in East India, but 4 Months after 2 other Chests & 1 Box belonging to us arrived at Charles Town & are sent now to us by the Correspondent of Col. Stephens. We are very sensible of your very great favour, you shew us in taking upon you so many troubles in forwarding Benefactions from Europe to our Place, for which great Kindness as well as many more testimonies of your real favour we return you many thanks, wishing with all our Hearts, that the Lord himself may be a gracious Rewarder to you and other Bene- factors. We find the Contents of your last Let- ter, that the Honble Trustees, are much inclined to pay the prime Cost of the Sett of Swish- Lin- nen upon a Certificat of Mr. Jones, that the said Linnen has been issued for the Use of the Col- ony. Mr. Jones, being a man of Justice, & a great Friend to us, has been very much con- cerned in this Affair for our sake, & has assured us to have acquainted the Honble. Trustees by Cap. Thomson with the whole Matter, desiring them not only to pay the prime Cost, but, (which he leaves to their Generosity) some Interest too, since he is fully persuaded that Mr. Caus- ton has issued this very good & cheap Linnen with great Profit. But we will not ask any thing else, but that the prime Cost might be pay'd to
Benefactions sent to the Colonies. from Europe.

Mr. Whitefield to the Trustees.
Mr. Syms whom I left Superintendent of the Orphan - house, during my Absence - I think the contents will shew that the General does by no means act as He ought to do - When I was lately with him at Frederica. He mentioned nothing of taking away the two Children but since my departure. He has removed them I think after a very improper manner. I am verily persuaded the petition sent by John Milledge is only a Contrivance of the General. For He has got one Sister near 18 or 19 Years old that lives in his house, & can sufficiently do his busyness, He being but a single man - Be- sides I know the produce of all his land will not maintain the Children, & therefore they must be supported either by the Trustees or the Gen- eral. But if Children are to be taken by force out of the Orphan-house whenever any one says He will maintain them, on what a precarious foundation does the House stand? I would assoon throw the mony away as to expend it on such terms. Honrd. Gentlemen, the matter I now lay before You is of great importance. The Colony will never succeed, if such Arbitrary power be allowed of. Here are now two Chil- dren taken away, but what provision is made for their better parts, nay even for their bodies for any considerable time ? And how can I ven- ture to put Children out Apprentices, if they are every day liable to be removed in such an Arbitrary manner? I have just left Pensyl- vania and am now returning to Georgia. I have gotten near 500 Ib sterling in mony & provisions, & am taking several Trademen with me. But I

Srs. will bring Your answer. - I shall send a Copy of this, as I did of my last, to the General & let him make what Apology He pleases. I Honour him as my Superiour, but wherever He acts inconsistently with his Duty, I shall think it my duty to inform him of it, with the meekness & resolution that becomes a Minis- ter of Jesus X. Affairs are not so encouraging in Georgia, as to need Unnecessary Arbitrary restraints - Pensylvania is a free Province, the land good, & one pound there will go as far as three in Georgia. But notwithstanding that, I shall yet encourage & make all possible im- provements in Georgia, if You will promise to strengthen the hands of Hon™ª. Gentlemen

1738. You reced. from him a Copy of his Cash Accot. to Aug. 26th. 1738. What Sums he has Since added to that Accot, (being then forgotten by him, as he Says) Youll find, enclosed, a Copy thereof.
I examind this Accot of Cash wth. the Receipts & paymts. in the Several Accots. to which it re- ferr'd, and wth. Such other Vouchers, as I could have recourse to; and noted those Mistakes & Omissions therein, which you'll Receive herewth. When (if ever) his Acco. of Cash, as well as his Other Accots. with the Trustees, can be brought into any certain Method; I am ready to explain, & give my reason for calling every Sum So Set down, Errors, or Omissions. I shewed the Same to M'. Causton, who, when he had per- used some part thereof, grew Angry, complain- ing that he was ill used, in that it was expected he should give an Accot. of Transactions, for so long a Time passed, when the Accompts were managed by the Clerks, who were Servants to ve Trustees. I could not prevail with him to examine but few of ye Articles, which he said must be Mistakes of the Clerks.
One other Cash Book has been delivered me by Mr. Causton, containing his Accot. of Cash from March 25th: 1734. to March 25th. 1737. Copys of which, I suppose, have been sent you. As appear by the following Certificates signed Tho. Christie & Vanderplanc - The Truth of what they declare, ( { those Certificates) seems very doubtfull to me, therefore desire You'll peruse Some of the Articles, for the paymt of
Mr. Caug- ton's 80. counts.

which Cash has Credit; which, when compared with the Receipts, You'll find under each Re- ceipt, what part of the Sum was paid in Money, & what other part in Value of Goods (wch. I take to be issued out of the Trustees Store) but Such Value is not bro't to ye Cash Accot. I have not .-. time to transcribe the Receipts & Cash Acco. but have transcribed only a few Receipts, (which you have enclosed) as a Specimen. When I desired Mr. Causton to explain that Matter, He gave for Answer, That the Accompts untill February 1735, was an Imprest Account. and that he would not trouble himself to look into it.
If you please to compare this last Accot. of Cash sent you by Mr. Causton wth. the Certifyed Accots. which you formerly reced. You will find much difference between them; for Instance; the Several Sums in Febry 13'1. 1735 and also on March 24th. Said to be Cash taken from Sundry @sons Acco. Currt., are omitted to be inserted in the last Accot. of Cash Sent,

There are other Certificates in Each Folio of the Cash Book, from the begining to June 24, 1735 - in these Words -
We hereby Certify, that we have carefully examined the Accot. in this Book Dr. & Cr. Folio () and has Seen the proper Vouchers now in ye hands of Tho Causton:

I must refer you to those Remarks, which I have made, on the sheet herein enclosed, being a Copy of some few Receipts &c - The Imprest (more truly the Implicate) Accompt, to Febru- ary 1735-6 has taken up a great deal of my Time, to no purpose, whilest examining near Twenty (irreconcileable) Books, wherein the Same is kept, which (Books) I shall take the Liberty to Send over for Your perusal, { next return of a Ship from hence for London, being of no Use here -
What has rendred the Accompts, Especially, That of Cash, more perplexing and intricate, is. That there is not Any Accot. extant, in the Books, with James Oglethorpe Esq', whereas, it is very Certain, He was advanced considerable Sums of Money to M'. Causton, for the Colony's Service. And that other Sums have been pª. him, or to his Order; His Excellency (upon my

Application to him, That Mr. Causton should produce that Accot; which would tend much to- wards clearing of many other Accots, which had Reference thereto) Ordered me to proceed in examining and Stateing the other Accots. and let that alone
I found a Paper lately, (among the loose papers, in the Compting house) with this Title - The Honble. Ja: Oglethope Erq'. Accot. of Cash with the Honble. Trustees - which comences March 2. 1735-6 and closes wth. Octo". 2. 1736. Of which Accot. there's a Ballance in favor of Mr. Oglethorpe £1047 .. 9 .. 91%. I sup- pose you have that Accot. by you. therefore have not sent a Copy.
I have likewise Sent herewith a Copy of M. Causton's Acco, as Stated by himself in Leiger Nº. 4., without any other Variation, than, That I have added the Amount of his provisions and other Necessaries into an Entire Sum to certain periods ; (the Same taking up Eighty Pages in the posting Book where the Same are inserted) : And this Accot. (tho' Sundry Articles are omit- ted therein wch. are in the Posting Books) takes up fifty four Pages in the Leiger.
What chiefly induced me to Send this Copy (which is very imperfect, and comes far Short of the Accot. of Effects of the Trustees wch. Mr. Causton has taken for his private use) is, That Mr. Causton has often in my hearing, com- plaind, of the Difficulties he was under, in, That the Trustees would place to his Accot. All the

And would not enquire by what Authority he had paid Such Sums of money or made those Dis- bursem's. for the publick Service; Yet these Insinuations of hardships, have been much im- provd by Mr. Williamson & others in Carolina.

You'll observe that Mr. Causton in this Accot. takes Credit for his Sallary, and the Allowance for his Maintenance, from his first Arrival but, gives no Accot. of the sundrys applied by him, for his private Use, (out of ye Trustees Effects,) untill Febry. 1735/6. - Neither can I yet find any regular Accot. entred in any of the Books, for that time - What Accot.
