DEAR JOSEPH, I am glad to hear that the little stumbling-blocks in your circuit are so happily removed. See letter of Nov. 16, 1788. Undoubtedly after I am gone several of our preachers will leave the Church; perhaps all that have not a single eye that desire honor, or money, or anything upon earth. But I hope I shall not live to see this. While I am here let us go on in the old way. There is no danger of my seeing Nottingham this year. On the 2nd of March I hope to be in Bath, on the 4th at Bristol, on the 17th at Gloucester, the 21st at Birmingham, and then in Dublin as soon as I can. I am, dear Joseph, Your affectionate friend and brother.","word_count":137,"source_url":null,"themes":["catholic-spirit","free-will","universal-redemption"],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:23:35.191678"}]}
