Mr. Misho called on me Yesterday. He wishes to know whether he is to prepare for his journey, & that instructions be prepared for him if he goes. This I hope you will do. Will it be proper to call a meeting of the Society, or shall we have a meeting of a few individuals who are interested in this business? He says 3 or 4 Hundred dollars put into his hands at present would be sufficient.
