The Vicar, having refused the use of the Vestry Room for the
Meeting appointed to take place this morning, and published
the communication referring thereto, we beg to lay before you
the whole correspondence that has passed between us, and part
of which Dr. Browne chooses to say was so unsatisfactory as to
induce him, and the Churchwardens, somewhat hastily to appoint
an Organist; after the Meeting of the 14th we called upon the
Vicar to consult him on this business, and it was arranged and
distinctly understood that we should immediately advertise the
vacancy, and appoint by umpire or otherwise, to be subsequently
decided on, Mr. Woodall continuing until the end of this
month, and, if unsuccessful as a Candidate, to be paid for his
services. We leave it for your consideration whether we have
merited the extraordinary treatment we have received from Dr.
Browne.
The Office you kindly appointed us to being now at an end, we
have to thank you very sincerely for your confidence in us,
And remain, Gentlemen,
Yours faithfully,
DANIEL JORDAN,
SAMUEL PRICE.
