DEAR JOSEPH, All is well. We have no need to 'dispute about a dead horse.' If the school at Trevecca is the best that ever was since the world began, I am glad of it, and wish it may be better still. But do not run away with any of my young men from Kingswood: that I should blame you for. I have wrote already to T. Simpson, The Head Master. see letter of Jan. 2, 1769. and will write again. Do all the good you can in every place. I am Your affectionate brother.","word_count":103,"source_url":null,"themes":["universal-redemption","catholic-spirit","free-will"],"created_at":"2026-01-29T20:04:43.458196"}]}
