To the CLERGY of VIRGINIA.
Reverend SIRS,
WHILE thinking this a very proper Season for taking into Consideration certain Matters in which the Clergy are most immediately and deeply concerned, and finding several of my Brethren, whose Opinions have great Weight with me, to be very confident that, if our whole Body should be desired to meet, they would not at this Time show a general Backwardness to honour the Request, I have come to a Resolution of appointing, and do accordingly appoint, the Thursday after Whitsunday for the Clergy to convene upon at the College of William and Mary.
When the Day appointed comes, I hope those who advised me to this Measure will, with me, enjoy the Satisfaction of finding their Expectations fully answered, by being able to assemble with a very respectable Number of their Fraternity, on an Occasion which they, as well as I, deem important. I am, with ardent Prayers for your real Welfare, and the true Good of the Community, Reverend Gentlemen, your loving and affectionate Brother,
JOHN CAMM.
