XCV. — To the Same.

Dear Brother,London, October 28, 1775.

I Am just returned from Bedford. I have not seen the King these dozen years. I do not know what you mean by Dr. Smyth’s book. It was best to take no notice of the angry ones.

At Ramsbury-park, about a mile to the left of the high road, lives James Nind, Local Preacher, and general Steward for the Circuit, on a farm of five hundred pounds a year. His wife, Sally Nind, is one of the most amiable women I know. They mightily desire that you would spend a few nights with them.

I am just putting into the press a new edition of the "Address," corrected; in which my change is accounted for, and two of the questions fully answered. To the third, "Why did not the Parliament tax them before?" Mr. Madan answers, "Because they were wiser; they knew the mischief that would ensue." Dr. Johnson is in France.

I have not heard lately from Shoreham. If the worst comes, you must make shift at the Foundry for a week or two.

I do not think you are wise in destroying those papers. Some of them might have been useful to many.

When I was in Bristol I ordered that Hugh Saunderson should preach on Thursday night. None but you should take his place. Joseph Pilmoor may preach on Friday or Monday. Some much like, others much dislike, H. Saunderson; but his audience generally is not small. However, I will refer him to you; but I wish you would fix Thursday.

Mr. Fletcher would not be safe without you or me. I should like a conference with Mr. Madan. I have a second friendly letter from him today. Peace be with you and yours!

Pray give my love to T. Lewis, and tell him I thank him for his letter. If the persons now taken up are hanged, it may be the saving of the nation. Adieu!
