TROY, February 19, '1844. Rev. W. D. SNODGRASS,

Dear Sir,—The undersigned, members of your Session, Board of
Trustees, and Congregation, have listened with attention to the able
and interesting series of discourses which you have recently delivered
on the Apostolical Succession. This subject has, from recent occur-
rences, become one of deep interest to all evangelical denominations
of christians. And fully believing, as we do, that you have, in those
discourses, clearly and satisfactorily shown from the Word of God,
what it is that constitutes an authorized christian ministry; and, enter-
taining the opinion, that their publication, with a view to a more ex-
tended circulation, would be useful in contributing to establish in the
public mind, enlightened, sound, safe, and scriptural views of this im-
portant subject—we most respectfully request, that they may be pre-
sented to the public, through the medium of the press, in such form as
you may prefer, and as early as may suit your convenience.
Session.
