Intention doing the Will of our heavenly Father.
In the Beginning of the Month of Febry
1778 I was first appointed by my honoured God Father the
Revd Mr Swartz to assist the english Schoolmaster. -
Accordingly I made it my Bussiness from that Time to in-
struct the english Scholars in Reading, Arithmetic and
Christianity till the 2d of July 1780, about which Time I
undertook by the Consent of Mr Swartz & Mr Pohle to
give a private Instruction to a few Children belonging to a
Colonel, who was then Commandant of this Place, and to a
Son of another Gentleman. By the Blessing of God they
soon made a Progress in their Learning and were brought
to some Knowledge of God, of their Redeemer and of their
Duty towards him. - The Instruction of these Children
requiring at lengh more Attention I was not able to go on
in my former Bussiness in the english School, except that of
catechising; but upon these Children's leaving this Place on the
12th of Septemr last Year, I resumed it again.

Besides my Employment of instructing
Children, on the 23d of June last Year I began to read the
common Prayers to the english Congregation at divine Service,
after having called upon God for his gracious Assistance,
and beseeching him to bless this my Undertaking to his Ho-
nour an Glory, & to the Edification of Souls.

As I had not the Pleasure of seeing
my dear Parents near the Space of 4 Years by Reason of this
grievous War with which God has visited this Country, I paid
them a Visit last Year. On the 28th of Novr I left Tritchi-
napoly and arrived the next day at Tanjore where I remain-
ed till the 1st of Decr and read once the Common Prayers to
the english Congregation at the Request of the commanding Officer.
