Dear Sir
Inclosed I return you M.^r Addisons Letters, to whose Freind I
propose giving this Parish; — I settled with M.^r Edmiston yesterday
that he is to succeed M.^r Craddock. When M.^r Addison was in Town
first after my Arrival, I promised him that M.^r Boucher shoud have
this Living on Edmiston's Removal, who would not accept either
of the Vacant ones on the Eastern Shore, or he woud have been
here long ago.

May [I be]g you to take the Trouble of informing this Gentle-
man of his Appointment, which I hope will be to his Satisfaction,
till such Time as it can be bettered by the Addition of the School,
or Removal to a better Parish.
I am Sir
Your obedient h^ble Serv^t
Rob.^t Eden
To The Hon.^ble Walter Dulany
