General note

Colchester, a town northeast of London, dates from Roman times and is the oldest recorded town in Britain. After a penny paper aimed at hurting Occom and his cause was circulated in this area, Samuel Wood wrote a recommedation that he advised Whitaker to show in Colchester and other towns along his fundraising route.
