To Thomas Rankin NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, May 29, 1780. DEAR TOMMY, I hope the affair of Brother M'Nab need not be mentioned any more. But I should be sorry if there be any ground for that report that John Bristol is gone to the Calvinists. Betsy must be a Christian, or be in pain and weakness all her days; our Lord will not let her go. I am endeavoring to shorten all my journeys, that I may have a little time to spend in London before the Conference. My route lies: Mond. June 5, York; , Gainsborough, Lincolnshire; , Louth; , Doncaster, Yorkshire; Mond. July 3, Derby; , London. I am, with love to Sister Rankin, dear Tommy, Your affectionate brother.
