Natick 3 {March} 1778
Sirs
As the honorable and reverend Corporation
of Harvard College are jointly concern'd with the
honorable & reverend {Commissioners} at Boston, in my
Support, and as by the calamities of the present Times
no Remittances can be made from the Funds out of
which I have received my Salary and as several of
the Commissioners have mention'd it as their Opinion
that a way might be prepared for the College [Treasurer?]
to draw Bills upon the Treasurer of the Corporation
in London by the assistance of or in conjunction with the Treasurer of the
Commissioners. This waits upon you with a Request
that the College Corporation would take the matter
into their consideration, that if they find it [illegible]
practicable, I may be enabled by them to draw
a Bill in some such manner as I was impowered
by the Commissioners --- I should not give the
Corporation this trouble if I was not a considerable
sufferer by the Distraction of my interest at
Charlestown & if I was not also considerably involved
in Debt --- As I have now an opportunity of disposing
of a Bill to advantage, I doubt not the Corporation
will accommodate me if they it is in their power
especially as the future Scenes & operations of the
war may for a considerable Time deprive me of such
an opportunity
I am, Sir, yr most {obedient} &
& very humble {servant}
{Stephen} Badger
{Reverend} President Langdon
