To the Itinerant Brethren, issued by order of the Connexional Committee.
The first part of this letter concerns the use of the word Reverend by certain itinerant preachers. This is deemed to be contrary to Connexional practice and must cease, as it is likely to cause financial loss to the Missionary Society.
Signed by [Matthew] Robins.
