I'm sorry your mind is uneasy in not hearing
from us — we have
nothing particular to write about — you
are afraid we are displeased at your conduct by not hearing
from us; but that is a plain stratagem of the Enemy to distress
you, for we have been always plain and open with you,
therefore
hearing nothing from us, you should infallibly judge
there is nothing of that sort in
our minds — on the contrary
I have wrote Two Letters to you both directed for
you at the
Rev.
Mr. Ogilvie's at
Newcastle upon
Tyne — which if you have
not received I would have you see after; the last did not go from hence
'tils
the
8th
instant
and will be at Newcastle on the
13th which place you will have left
I suppose
before that time; it contains 1 letter for you from abroad and
another from me to
Mr. Occom about
Mr. Mason who is here on the
Indian affairs — —
— dont you hurry from places too much
[gap: tear][guess: ?] one would think according to
Mr. Smith
and others account of Newcastle,
you might have
spent 3 weeks or a month and done very considerable
things there — I shall repeat nothing of my 2
former letters in this, but
refer you to them —
Mr. Oliver sent 200 Narratives on Friday morning
31st July which though he blundered
and sent by the wagon they must get there in a week and a
little after sent 3 quire of papers with the letters to it as you desired — if on your coming
to
Leeds more Narratives is wanting word and they shall be sent — but
Mr. Edwards
took 100 at least with him from
London
the beginning of June to distribute at
Sheffield
etc.etc. as you desired
[gap: tear] when you was there and if
Mr. Edwards has not returned from
Scarborough his daughter can
let you have wha
[gap: tear] all your friends here (that knows of my writing) desires
[gap: tear][guess: to] be kindly remembered to you and
Mr. Occom
[gap: tear]
P. S.
Mr. Smith read yours of the
[gap: tear][guess: 5th
instant]
[gap: tear] this day to
Sheerness
[gap: tear]
the benefit of the Saltwater
for 3 or 4
[gap: tear][guess: d]ays — he seems pretty well
