Woodman, Isaac to Manning, James: 1773 Feb 20

Written from Thorp, England. Doubts that a fund-raising trip to England for the College would succeed; hopes the College and the Baptist denomination in Rhode Island "is loyal and obediant disproveing the opposition made to government in your neighborhood." He is grateful for offer of honorary degree but not qualified for the title; praises Mr. Ryland. Written from Thorp, England.
