Dr. Sir
I promised myself much pleasure in your
company this afternoon agreeable to the appointment
which I made with you but as I am suddenly called
a few miles from town to supply a congregation tomorrow
it will not be possible for me to be with you in the afternoon.
I hope however to return on Monday and will call upon you
either in the Evening of Monday or some time on Tuesday.
I have [indecipherable] parcel of [indecipherable] for your acceptance the
only token of my respect which in your present circum-
stances may be really useful and these I will endeavour
to forward. I feel much interested on your behalf and
shall not forget you at that throne of Grace to which
we all have occupied at which our supplications are heard
May [indecipherable] I you but your work is the
[indecipherable] and will be the continued [indecipherable] of
Your brother in Christ
I am: Burder

this letter is incorrectly cataloged as written from Samuel Burder to Thomas Hassall. it is in fact from George Burder to Rowland Hassall. one of the main proofs of this is that Thomas was born in 1794l
