He knows too well what belongs to y* Episcopal Character to wish to see a Bp. & the Bp. Of his own diocese too, electioneering with his own clergy either in y* pulpitt of St. Paul's Parish or in y® streets of Baltimore. What then is his meaning? I am weary of conjectures. My friend must desire to have me near him: he must wish too that I may somehow or other be employed in y* duties of my sacred call- 122 LIFE OF BISHOP CLAGGETT ing or else I cannot see how my residence in Baltimore could possi...bly add to my respectability or contribute to my comfort. But how that is to be eiFected I know not. It is painful to me to recur to past scenes, but it seems necessary in this case that I should do it. Two vacancies have occurred in St. Paul's Parish Baltimore since I filled y* Episcopal chair: possessed with y* Idea that I could render greater service to y* Church of Maryland at large if situated there than in any other part of my diocese & that I could render at least equal service to y* parish with any other gentleman, I felt it my duty on both these occasions to let the existing Vestry of that parish know y* although I never would sully y® high Commission I had received by entering y® list as in an electioneering contest yet if the associated rectorship was respectfully offered to me by them I would gladly accept of it, & I dare say that you Sir will understand that in case of y' event I was willing to share all y* labours of y* parish & all its emoluments too, of what nature or kind soever, equally with you.
