To Sophia Cooke Date: CROWLE, June 20, 1786. Surely you never can have need to use any ceremony with me. You may think aloud and tell me all that is in your heart. As soon as ever I saw Mr. Bradburn and you together I believed you would be more nearly united. His former wife never wanted anything; neither need any of our preachers' wives. They neither want nor abound. They have all things needful for life and godliness. But I am not a fair judge. I am partial. I long so much to have you under my own roof that I cannot divest myself of prejudice in the matter. I can only say,' Give yourself to prayer; and then act, in the name and in the fear of God, as you are fully persuaded in your own mind.' - I am Yours affectionately.
