[MS 116]

again at Christmas, one Mr Jerrard who was taken
[ ] the Duff, & he is remarkably acceptable to all the people.
The Congregations keeps up very well & the Church is very
unanimous. So I hope all will be well.
     My wife has a very ill state of health. I lost my eldest
daughter Elisa 2 years ago. My oldest son Henry is
studying for the ministry. My second son is apprenticed
at Nottingham. My youngest son was ill for a 
year but is mercifully recovered & I have 2 daughters
at home with me. We are situated in a pleasant place
at Islington & I have a good & sincere congregation 
at Fetter Lane in London, which is increasing.
  I hope you will take every opportunity of writing
that you can and shall be happy to hear that your
endeavours to do good are blessed. If you want books do
let me know & direct to Mr Hardcastle's
Old Swan Stairs, London Bridge
With love to your wife & family
I remain
Yr affec brother
