In the twelfth Month, 1771, he acquainted this Meeting that he found his Mind drawn towards a religious Visit to Friends in some Parts of _England_, particularly in _Yorkshire_. In the first Month, 1772, he obtained our Certificate, which was approved and endorsed by our Quarterly-meeting, and by the Half-year's-meeting of Ministers and Elders at _Philadelphia_. He embarked on his Voyage in the fifth, and arrived in _London_ in the sixth, Month following, at the Time of their annual Meeting in that City. During his short Visit to Friends in that Kingdom, we are informed that his Services were acceptable and edifying. In his last Illness he uttered many lively and comfortable Expressions, being "perfectly resigned, having no Will either to live or die," as appears by the Testimony of Friends at _York_ in _Great-Britain_, in the Suburbs whereof, at the House of our Friend, _Thomas Priestman_, he died of the Small-pox, on the seventh Day of the tenth Month, 1772, and was buried in Friends Burying-ground in that City, on the ninth of the same, after a large and solid Meeting held on the Occasion at their great Meeting-house, aged near fifty-two Years; a Minister upwards of thirty Years, during which Time he belonged to _Mount-Holly_ Particular-meeting, which he diligently attended when at Home and in Health of Body, and his Labours of Love, and pious Care for the Prosperity of Friends in the blessed Truth, we hope may not be forgotten, but that his good Works may be remembered to Edification. _Signed in, and by Order of, the said Meeting, by_ SAMUEL ALLINSON, _Clerk_. Read and approved at our Quarterly-meeting, held at _Burlington_ the 29th of the eighth Month, 1774. _Signed, by Order of said Meeting_, DANIEL SMITH, _Clerk_.
