— I was surpriz'd to see
M:r Occom on Wednesday
last when as I told him you were to meet
him y
e next day
at
Tunbridge wells
— he said he had left word for you; but
I find you were not acquainted withit — I askd him how he
came not to meet you at
Tunbridge
wells
& then have come to
London — he said he found himself very
poorly & had a fever
on him then — — he went pretty early to Bed & as
D:r Sparks
&
I din'd with
Mr Whitefield he came whilst we were there about 2
o'Clock
—
Dr Sparks sent him something to take & some sack whey
was made him & he lay in his old lodging — I saw him on
Saturday & he look'd pretty well in the parlour below — he
made an engagement to come
about 5 o'Clock this afternoon
to my house to drink Tea & Sup with us & go home about ½ after 9
—I've just now sent to know how he
does & why he did not come?
my Lad brings me word he was but poorly but thinks he
shall be
better on y
e morrow & will then come & dine with me — — if he had been
here to night he should have wrote you a letter himself or a part in
this — if he
should be better I thought he should meet you at least on
Friday Evening at
Canterbury — but if you can pursue y
e 2 weeks
Rout you mention
^without him,^ do … and then come
yourself to
London — perhaps
you can
do it as well without him & it will be a pity to miſs any
places that you can accomplish in that time — you and I must
bear the burden & I dare say have had more of it to our share
then all the rest put them
altogether — but it is for God, & the pleasur
[gap: worn_edge][guess: e] we have had to see the cause prosper has greatly overballanc'd all
our trouble & fatigue — your friends here will be glad to see you
at y
e end of this Tour —as it will be then 9 months since you left

Mr Robarts said he

where we are to be To Morrow Evening — dear
