again at Christmas, one Mr Jerrard who was taken in
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 & serious congregation 
at Fetter Lane in London, which is increasing.

I hope you will take every opportunity of writing
that you can & shall be happy to hear that your
endeavours to do good are blessed. If you want books &c
let me know & direct to Mr Hardcastle's
Old Swan Stairs, London Bridge

With love to your wife & family

I remain
Yr affec brother

Pray present my Xian[Christian] respects to the Rev. Mr Marsden
could you get person to read the Village Sermons in
different places. God has used them much in England.
