To William Simpson Date: LONDON, November 23, 1786. DEAR BILLY,-YOU have taken in this intricate affair the very best method that could be taken. When you have to do with those stubborn spirits, it is absolutely necessary either to mend them or to end them; and ten persons of a quiet temper are better than thirty contentious ones. The contentions were at Knaresborough. See letter of Nov. 11 to him. Undoubtedly some of the eloquent men will be sending me heavy complaints. It is well, therefore, that you spoke first. - I am, dear Billy, Your affectionate friend and brother.
