The London Missionary Society faces prolonged conflict with the Bishop of London over annual sermons at Kay's Inn Road Chapel and St Bride's, detailing Mortimer's appeals and multiple church rejections across decades. Directors argue the Bishop misremembered precedent, citing prior permissions at Christ Church Newgate Street and St Bride's, and urge reconciliation to preserve the annual sermon.
The correspondence discusses a recent prohibition of sermons by the Bishop of London. It notes the bishop yielded and the directors may accept the victory. It lists churches where annual sermons have been preached, including Christ Church Newgate Street and St Clement Danes, and mentions a note from Mr Tidman about returning a manuscript.

The note promises further discussion in the next issue.
