1786 January 19 . Nehi Stebbins ALS to "Revrent Sur"; Greenwich

2 pages

Box 2
Stebbins discusses a dispute with the "revrent" over the clergyman's contract. He complains of frequent Sabbath absences and says that the town cannot pay the minister's salary, which he does not deserve in any case. A conference will be held on the matter, but Stebbins maintains that he cannot pay the minister any more than "if you had told me you would give me a wedge of gold on condition I could fly to the moon."
