I admired Miss Brooke for her silence; her look spake, though not her tongue. If we should live to meet again, I should be glad to hear as well as see her I am Yours. To Francis Wolfe YORK, July 10, 1774. MY DEAR BROTHER, I had set you down for Bristol the next year. But last night I received a letter from John Murlin, and another from Tommy Lewis, desiring he might be there. Pray tell T. Lewis they will have him and two other new preachers, and that I am seeking for an housekeeper. Explicitly press the believers to go on to perfection! I am, with love to Sister Wolfe, Your affectionate brother. To Mr. Wolfe, At the New Room, Bristol. To Ann Bolton 18 LEEDS, July 13, 1774. MY DEAR SISTER, At all hazards get an electric machine. It is your bounden duty. You are no more at liberty to throw away your health than to throw away your life. If you disperse the small tracts among the poor people round Finstock, it will continue and deepen their awakening. Your removal from Witney was sufficient to cause slackness among the people. I hope Brother Taylor will recover, if he be plainly and yet tenderly dealt with.
