DEAR BROTHER, The Conference (a blessed one) was concluded this morning, and I am as strong as I was when it began. I do not advise you to accept of the invitation: I read a letter to-day which I do not like. Nay, Mr. Saunderson is 'settled in Bristol ' that is, as a local preacher. Such an Address to the Americans would be highly seasonable. Have you heard anything of the Africans I hope to be in London on Tuesday evening and the Thursday in the following week at Brecon. As matters are now, I let the Orphan House alone, lest the remedy should be worse than the disease. I have likewise a good letter from T. Rankin. He and all our brethren expect sufferings. Hitherto they have behaved extremely well. I must write by post to Sister Castleman and my other Bristol friends. Peace be with you and yours! Adieu!","word_count":161,"source_url":null,"themes":["works-mercy","catholic-spirit","universal-redemption"],"created_at":"2026-01-29T20:08:13.586203"}]}
