A collection of three interconnected letters from 1779 authorizing and promoting a charitable collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. The Royal Letter from George III (10 May 1779) grants permission for a nationwide church collection to support missionaries in North America and other provinces; the Archbishop of York (W. Ebor, 19 June 1779) transmits this to the Bishop of Sodor and Man; and the Bishop of Sodor and Man (R. Sodor & Man, 1 July 1779) directs clergy to implement collection in their parishes. The correspondence addresses the financial exhaustion of the Society and explicitly references the American Revolution, discussing support for loyalist clergy who refused to renounce allegiance to the Crown.
