Sir,
At the request of the Bishop of Columbia I have the honor to forward a letter addressed to you by his Lordship on the subject of the division of the Diocese.
2. I refrain from commentinguponManuscript image upon the views entertained by Bishop Hills as I am opposed to the division recommended by his Lordship, while I should much regret to throw any obstacle in the way of a division of the Diocese, which however arranged must prove of Advantage to the Church in this Colony.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient humble Servant
Arthur N. Birch
