To Edward Jackson Date: LONDON, January 6, 1781. DEAR NEDDY, That is a doubt with me too whether you do right in preaching to twelve or fifteen persons. Jackson was Assistant in the Dales in 1780-1. I fear it is making the gospel too cheap, and will not therefore blame any Assistant for removing the meeting from any place where the congregation does not usually amount to twenty persons. You cannot be too diligent in restoring the bands. No Society will continue lively without them. But they will again fly in pieces if you do not attend to them continually. See letter of Oct. 24, 1788. I go to Ireland in spring. I shall not . . . otherwise I shall. Your friend and brother.
