To Walter Churchey Date: LONDON, December 21, 1775. MY DEAR BROTHER, A few days ago my brother gave me a letter of yours dated November 24. I am surprised that one who has passed a winter in Scotland should complain of cold in Wales. It is not a good sign. I advise no one above twenty to think of learning Greek or Latin; he may employ his time abundantly better. But if John Broadbent has a turn for learning languages, by all means let him learn Welsh. This will turn to good account. And now is his time; you can direct and assist him herein. Meantime persuade him to refrain from screaming, and he will do well. I may speak in confidence to you; take care it do not transpire. Put no confidence either in T or his wife. I stand in doubt of them both. The printer is hastening on with the History; yet still I think him slow. I am, with love to Sister Churchey, Your affectionate brother.
