The first night in London was depressing for Colman, because he had lost all his letters from New England in France. Nevertheless, he found the people he was supposed to meet there and was appointed to Cambridge to lead a small congregation. From there he was appointed to the town of Ipswich in Suffolk where he spent eleven weeks and then returned to London. When in London, he was given the opportunity to take charge of a church in Bath, Somerset. He stayed there for two years.
