Resolutions at adjourned Meeting follow.

Resolutions agreed to at a Meeting of the Committee of the Brighton Missionary Association for Patagonia held at 68, Regency Square, Brighton on Tuesday July 1st 1845

Resolved - That the Committee desire to record the sense which they unanimously entertain of Mr Hunt's singleness of aim and devoted zeal during the short period of his connection with the Society as a Catechist and under the very perilous and trying circumstances in which he had been placed and their trust that he will still prove a valuable labourer in the Missionary Field.

Resolved - that in consideration of his services and the relinquishment of his situation as master of an Endowed School on his joining the Mission and the loss of his baggage and other valuable property in the Straits of Magellan, the sum of One Hundred Pounds, being his salary for one year, be granted him and that every exertion be made to forward his views of being still employed as a Missionary, in connection with the Church Missionary or some other Society.
