DEAR SIR, - I hope your stay at will be of use to many. But do not hurt yourself in order to help others. Mr. S is an upright, valuable man. His wife is a jewel indeed. I wish we had many like her. Your being at during this critical time is a singular providence. Both parties have a regard for you, and will hear you when they will not hear each other. I am glad you think of spending the winter in town, and doubt not but it will be for the glory of God. Go to my house. What is mine is yours; you are my brother, my friend: let neither life nor death divide us! Your visit to N will, I am persuaded, be of considerable use, the more because you love and recommend discipline. But I must beg of you to spend a night or two at Y . and at L . The sooner you come the more welcome you will be. Wrap yourself up warm, particularly your head and breast. - I am Your very affectionate friend and brother.","word_count":194,"source_url":null,"themes":["free-will","reign-of-god","works-piety"],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:14:54.698607"}]}
