To William Alwood Editor's Introductory Notes: 1759 3 NORWICH, March 6, 1759. DEAR BILLY, You spoil my plan. I had appointed, with God's leave, to be at Wakefield on Wednesday, April 18. But you tell me I must be at York. If I must, who can help it! Then I must set out from Epworth that morning, dine at Selby about noon, and so go on in the afternoon for York. But I hope you will begin the building directly. I suppose Dr. Cockburn has my plan. Lose no time. I have some money in my hands for you. The King's business requireth haste. You may still direct your letters to London. I am Your affectionate friend and brother. To Mr. Will. Alwood, At Mr. John Hall's, In Newgate Street, York.
