To Samuel Bardsley Date: LONDON, February 14, 1777. DEAR SAMMY, It is uncertain yet where I shall be this summer. If we do not build, See letter of Feb. 1. I shall go to Ireland; if we do, I must reside chiefly in London. Only I would endeavor to make a little excursion into the North. I have not promised to open the house at Halifax in April or May, although it is probable I shall in my journey to or from Newcastle. But my time will be very short, because I can never be absent from the building but about two or three weeks at a time. I am glad you have found a way to Lancaster. Be zealous, be active, and conquer all things! I am, dear Sammy, Your affectionate friend and brother.
