To Mrs. Johnston, Annandale, Lisleen Date: DUBLIN, July 12, 1778. MY DEAR SISTER, - Our friends in London are by this time pretty well recovered from their panic. They will no more be afraid of my going into the South of Ireland than into the South of England. The truth is, God allots us health or sickness, ease or pain, just as He sees one or the other is best for us. Mr. Abraham is exceedingly happy, and I believe will be exceedingly useful. I do not despair of Mr. Creighton. See letters of Dec. 23, 1777, and Sept. 29, 1779. His heart seems entirely with us. If they thrust him out, I will take him in. Peace be with you and yours. - I am, my dearest sister, Affectionately yours as ever.
