To Zachariah Yewdall Date: LONDON, December 31, 1782. MY DEAR BROTHER, You fear when no fear is. I have appointed Mr. Blair to labor with you at Cork and Bandon, and shall not alter that appointment without stronger reasons than I am likely to see. If I live, I shall probably see Ireland in summer; if I do not, I expect Dr. Coke will. Robert Blake may go just where he will; I have nothing to do with him. Three times he left his circuit without the consent of his Assistant. Blake was a young Englishman who became an itinerant in 1778. He was now at Athione. See letter of Feb. 9, 1783. He has stupidly and saucily affronted almost all the leaders. His high spirit, I fear, will destroy him. Till he is deeply humbled, I disclaim all fellowship with him. I am Your affectionate friend and brother.
