To Brian Bury Collins Date: BRISTOL, March 11, 1784. I am a little embarrassed with regard to Dr. Witherspoon. It is natural for you to be prejudiced in his favor. But he cannot be surprised if most Englishmen are strongly prejudiced on the other side: when they consider him as the grand instrument of tearing away children from their parents to which they were united by the most sacred ties, so that I know not with what face I can mention him, or with what probability of success. Wishing all happiness to you and yours, I am, dear sir, Your affectionate friend and brother. If you do not come, you will send a line directly.
