Rev A Brandram - No 92
Montreal 28th March 1840
My Dear Friend,
I here send you enclosed a list of our Bible Societies in the Two Canadas, made out as accurately as I well can. I am not sure that it will reach you in time for your Report of this year. If your Appendix is printed in succession after your Report, and that after reading it at the Annual Meeting, then list may well be in time. But if your Appendix is printed before your Annual Meeting, as I have some impression that it is at times, then list will be too late. – Have the goodness to inform me what is the latest date at which you should have such notices as this, and I will endeavour to arrange accordingly. – I believe I have not sufficiently kept in view the mentioning from time to time the new societies that are formed for their publication in your Monthly Extracts. There is some difficulty in making out correct statements of this kind as several societies actually new are in places where societies formerly existed, and whose names have been already registered. But I shall try to do the best I can in the case, and shall give you fuller notices.
I remain, My Dear Friend,
Very Truly Yours,
James Thomson
