Another letter from Rev'd Henry Vandyck bearing date 16 Nov'r 1785 at Stratford.
[Copy entered in Vestry Minutes. Original letter on file, Parish Mss., Van Dyck papers, No. 6.]
Stratford Nov'r 16th 1785.
Gentlemen
Immediately on my return from Fishkill I wrote Mr. Joseph Stringham, one of the gentlemen employed to negotiate with Mr. Arden, and informed him of the instructions given to Mr. Mesier.
I however made one offer more, which was a complyance of his proposal by Mr. Verplanck of £125-as to the sum in the following manner, viz. £50 in one year, £50 in two years, and the £25 in the third year, and to find him security for the per- . formance, which I really thought he would have accepted.
To my great surprise however, I received for answer that he insisted on £25 being paid down, £50 the first day of April next, and £50 in one year from that period with security for the payment.
This it was out of my power to comply with, as it would be impossible for me to raise the £75 at the two periods proposed.
My feelings are not to be expressed. Resignation is my duty; for doubtless there is wisdom in the Permission-God knows what is best both for you and me-let us not faint under his rebuke.
It will now be necessary for you to look out for a Pastor who may supply your Church, as I cannot think of going to you with a Family of small Children under this heavy load of Debt.
I pray my God to give you a right understanding in all things. To His Grace I commend you, which will be sufficient for you if you rightly improve it. My best love and Blessing ever attend you.
Farewell Henry Vandyck.

Gentlemen
I am now come on thus far with a Friend of mine, Mr. Andrew Hurd, who passes through your town.

The Records of Christ Church
By him, I wish to communicate to you that I have been in New York, since I was with you last, in order to negotiate with Mr. Arden, and I am sorry to tell you that my journey was ineffectual as to its intentions with him.
The result however of the whole proceedings I have with me, that passed between us, and I wish to lay them before you. I must therefore beg you will appoint a Committee of one or more from your body to meet me at the house of the Widow Beach, at this place, on Monday next, or Tuesday evening at furth- est, that we may finally fix whether I am to be with you or not.
It is a matter of consequence with me that this affair should be settled between us without any longer delays. If, there- fore, I should hear nothing from you by the time I have fixed, I shall immediately return home and look upon myself at liberty to engage with any other Congregation that shall offer.
If you have been favored with any informations from Mr. Arden since I left New York, by Mr. Benson or any other per- son, I request you will bring it with you.
I could wish to be with you at this time in person, but my confidence in Mr. Arden's integrity is so small that I cannot think of adventuring into your State as yet; for which reason I have appointed a meeting at this place, as convenient to you as possible ,being only 28 miles from you by the way of Coll VanderBurgh's.
I desire you will, if possible, inform the Fishkill congregation of this interview; although I am fully of opinion that a Com- mittee from you will answer every purpose.
With due regard I am, gentlemen,
Your humble Servant Henry Vandyck.

The above letter came to hand Saturday the 11 Febr 1786, and was communicated by Mr. Emott to Richard Davis Senr, Richard Davis Junr, Melancthon L. Woolsey, James Pritchard, Robert Noxon, Henry Mott and Ebenezer Badger, members of Vestry.
They all declined attending the interview Proposed by Mr. Vandyck, the most distant prospect of his Becoming our Clergyman being Vanished.

1786, Mch. 16, Ordered, that Richard Davis, Daniel Lefferts, & Isaac Baldin junr be a Committee to rent the parsonage for ensuing year, And likewise to dispose of the hay and grain which were produced on the Glebe last year intended for Rev'd Henry Vandyck. Resolved, that the Rev'd Henry Vandyck's not Complying with the Conditions of the Call renders it Void.

1786, April 18, Ordered, that James Pritchard be furnished with acc'ts of ... such persons who are in arear for one third of a year's Salary towards Mr. Vandyck; which he is to Collect.

1786, Oct'r, The Rev'd George Wright came, recommended to us by sundrie Gentelmen in New York, and performed Divine service here much to the Satisfaction of our Congregation.
Whereupon the Vestry ordered their Secretary to write to the church of Fishkill desireing their Concurrence in the settelment of Mr. Wright as Clergyman of the United Episcopal churches of Poughkeepsie and Fishkill.
19. Vestry Minutes, Vol. 1, p. 87.
1786, Nov. 21, A special meeting of vestry.
Attended also Mr. John Cooke and Doct'r Cooper, being a Committee appointed by the Trustees of Trinity Church at Fishkill.
They informed us that our letter had been received by their church, who had Ordered them to signify to us that they wish to Settel Mr, Vandyck as our Minister, in preference to Mr. Wright. They also laid before Vestry letters from Mr. Vandyck, in which he offers to come to the Churches, and that all former misunderstandings may be buried in Oblivion on all hands.
The question was then asked Mr. Cooke, what would be the conse- quence of a refusal to settel Mr. Vandyck on our parts.
He replyed, That their church were resolved to call Mr. Vandyck, and that it was their sincere wish that we would join with them, in prefer- ence to any other congregation; but, should we decline, they meant to embrace a proposal held out to them by the Episcopal church a+ Peekskill, who also wished to settel Mr. Vandyck. Upon motion made, it was resolved to determine the matter by ballot. The ballot's being taken and counted the votes were as follows
Ayes-six Noes-two
413
The Records of Christ Church
The question being thus determined in the affirmative that the Rev'd Vandyck be received as Minister of the united Episcopal churches, a letter was then wrote to convey him the information, in the words following:
Rev'd Sir
We hereby inform you that we have agreed to receive you for our minister according to our former agreements with you -(Except this,-that you are to preform your labours in the Ministry equal to both churches, instead of Preforming two thirds in Poughkeepsie and one at Fishkill; that you are to have the Old glebe, with the gore which lies East of the glebe; that the twenty-three acres lying west, & adjoining the glebe, you are not to have the use of as not belonting to the glebe)- Under these circumstances we wish to have you, and shall most cordially receive you, and do Sincerely hope they will be agreeable to you.
We expect that whenever you move with your family here, that your Salary will commence.
That we agree to the terms that Mr. Benson has made with Mr. Arden.
With respect to what the legislature may do respecting the Repealing the Trespass law, we cannot take upon our- selves to determine. That matter we must leave to yourself.
Only we wish to hear from you Concerning it & when you will be ready to come here.
We remain respectfully yours

Gentlemen
Your esteemed favor of the 21st of November I received the 15th of December; since which, I have been so unwell, as not to be able to give you an answer before this; but thro' Gods goodness I hope soon to obtain a permanent state of health.
I receive your invitation to the cure of your Churches with a sincerity equal to your own: and I do most earnestly suppli- cate Him, from whom cometh every good and perfect Gift, that we may meet in His own good time in Love and peace.
I observe, although I am to be considered upon the former agreement, still there is a meterial difference in the location of the Land; I however trust you will do what is right, as soon as I can remove with my family among you; which will take place as early as possible in the Spring.
In full confidence of this, I shall rest contented until that long wished for event. If my Health permits, the Lord will- ing, I fully intend to be with you before Easter so as to set things in order before my arrival.
I have wrote Bishop Seabury on the subject, and also for his approbation of the measure; as soon as I receive his answer I shall immediately communicate the same to you.
As to Arden I can say but little as yet, although I am in continual expectation of receiving a new proposal from him, upon paying the whole in cash down. A friend of mine in NYork thinks for this, he may be reduced to £60,-which I will do. At any rate his affair will be no further prevention of my com- ing among you, as he cannot recede from his own offer through Mr. Benson.
Begging Gods Blessing may attend you & yours, together with all the Bretheren in both congregations, I am, Gent'n your Servant. in Christ Jesus, Henry Vandyck.
To the Church wardens & Vestry of Christ & Trinity Churches, Poughkeepsie & Fishkill.

My dear Sir,
I hope you all arrived safe home without any accident, & that good Mrs. Cooke received no injury in her health from her winter excursion, & found all well home.
I thank God, my jaundice is now going off fast; but leaves me very weak and low; neverthe less (the Lord willing) I hope to see you all before Easter Sunday, as I begin to gain my health.
I must hope also, that my Letters arrived at Poughkeepsie in season.
Permit me to ask your kind attention to the Glebe House & Land, in consulting with the Vestry of both congregations about the repairs of the House, so as that I may enter with my Family in some kind of decency; the propriety of which I must leave with you and them, together with such addition of Land as may enable me to live.
I presume the House & Land will be free the first of April; so that there will be some little time left to admit of repairing and cleaning the House, & putting other, like matters, about the Garden, in such state as not to be very disadvantageous for gardening.
I fear I shall be troublesome to you; but I know you will forgive me upon this occasion.
I beg to be remembered in Love, in which Mrs. Vandyck joins me, by you all; & that you will communicate our warm- est affections to both congregations, & Mr. Verplanck in par- ticular with the other Gentlemen in both Vestrys.
Tell Dr. Ball he must forgive me not writing, as I intend he shall hear me, & not from me.
I am with real affection & esteem
D'Sr. yr. most huml Servt.
Henry Vandyck.
