Plain Text Transcription	From Cradock Glascott to T.H. in Spa Fields in London. He is taking this opportunity to send his list of seven subscribers [for the overseas missions] and to ask that the books be sent to Mr Hazard who has promised to deliver them and take the money. Glascott prays most heartily for T.H’s success. If a poor offering of one guinea per annum can be accepted, Glascott would consider it an honor to have his own name entered on the list of subscribers. He hopes to know soon who has been appointed to succeed him at the chapel for he is obliged to leave on Saturday the 30th inst. Mrs Glascott joins in sending regards. His best wishes should also be passed on to Lady Ann [Erskine]. The subscribers are as follows: Mr Hazard 1 quarto and 2 octavos Mrs Harman 1 quarto Mrs Clogstown 1 quarto Mr William Smith 1 quarto (Green Park Street) Mr Smith 1 quarto (36 Horse Street) James Grant Smith 1 quarto (Brewer Street) Mr Opie Smith 1 quarto (Westfield House) (1 sheet, 3p.) n.d
Notes	Craddock Glascott (c.1743-1831) was the son of Thomas Glascott of Cardiff. He was educated at Jesus College, Oxford and was ordained into the Anglican Church although the exact date is unknown. There is little information about him until he started to preach for the Countess of Huntingdon in 1766. Glascott was one of the ministers at the Countess’s Spa Fields Chapel in London and was prosecuted in the Church courts for assisting William Sellon. He severed his connection with the Countess when he was offered the benefice of Hatherleigh but maintained a friendship with her for the rest of her life and continued to occasionally preach in her chapels.
