ACKWORTH SCHOOL, was brought in and read; and purſuant 
thereto, this Meeting recommends to the ſeveral Quarterly Meetings, the 
continuance of their contributions to the ſaid Inſtitution ; to be remitted to 
WILSON BIRKBECK, eee London, within this preſent Year : alſo, 
that as far as is convenient, Repreſentatives may be appointed to attend 
the General Meeting at Ackworth, to be held on Fourth Day, the 25th of 


Seventh Month next. 


To the Yearly Meeting. 


REPORT from the GENERAL MEETING for ACKWORTH SCHOOL, 


Tas Meeting has the ſatisfaction to obſerve, that Friends have been liberal in 
advancing their Subſcriptions, and that a few Friends have been alſo generous in 
W which, with a reduction in the price of ſeveral articles of family conſumption, 
has brought the expenditure this year within the Income, notwithſtanding which there is 
reaſon to believe that without the continued liberal aid of Friends, the expenditure will 


= 


very ſoon again exceed it. 


Signed in and on behalf of the Meeting, held by adjournment in London, the 


18th of the Fifth month, 1798, by 


JOHN SANDERSON, Clerk.
