To the Monthly, and Quarterly Meetings of Friends, in England and Wales; LONDON, the twenty six Day of the sixth Month, 1692. Dear Friends and Brothers, WIth our Dear and Tender love to you, and all the Faithful in Christ Jesus: These are to Acquaint you, that since our late printed Epistle from our Meeting for Sufferings, for a Collection for our poor distressed Friends in Ireland, we have had divers Accounts from thence by Letters, both of their disposal of what hath been already sent them from hence; and also how little away it went, when distributed to the many Particulars towards their Supply; however, Friends love and care for them here is very Acceptable to them. We find they are very Charitable and Tender one towards another; in so much, that although the Calamity was general, and very Heavy upon them, that those that had something left, who were but few in Number, did readily contribute to them that wanted present Subsistance, by several large Collections among themselves. And they considering our charges here in England was great, have been the more tender and backward to apply to Friends here for Relief, although but few Friends there can Administer to such a great Number of Friends, who are in a very poor and low Condition, and many in great want; some having lost all, the very clothes off their Backs. Their general Loss hath been computed to amount to about Fifty Thousand Pounds, and their Number not more than Friends in Yorkshire. Now Dear Brethren, The intent of reminding you of these things, is, to entreat you in the Love of God, and Tender Compassion to these our Suffering Friends and Brethren, Zealously to stir up Friends in your respective Meetings, to a speedy and Liberal Contribution, according to our aforesaid Epistle, considering their distressed case, as if it were your own; and remembering their Liberality, and Christian Charity to Friends in England, when under sore Persecutions, their present Necessities being so great, requiring a speedy supply, that this Meeting hath already been constrained to Borrow one Thousand Pounds, to remit thither for their present Relief, upon the Credit of this said Collection; yet we are persuaded the said sum will fall far short of supplying their great Necessities; We therefore hope you will take all speedy care, effectually to hasten the said Collection. Signed by Order and on behalf of the Meeting for Sufferings, George Whitehead, Samuel Waldenfield, John Vaughton, William Bingley, John Feild.
