I wish Sister Clarke would do all that she may, but not more than she can. Betsy Ritchie, Miss Johnson, Clarke had evidently heard good news from the Channel Islands. Miss Johnson was one of the Bristol saints. and M. Clarke are women after my own heart. Last week I had an excellent letter from Mrs. Pawson (a glorious witness of full salvation See letter of Nov. 15.), showing how impossible it is to retain pure love without growing therein. Wishing every blessing to you and all the family. I am, dear Adam, Your affectionate friend and brother. To Jeremiah Brettell LONDON, November 27, 1789. MY DEAR BROTHER, I am glad you have done something for poor Dewsbury See letter of Aug. 23.; and when you do what you can you do enough. It is no wonder that Tommy Cooper should be sensible of so great a loss. But 'tis possible Harriet Lewis of Dudley might make it up. Thomas Cooper was Brettell's colleague at Wolverhampton. See letter of March 29, 1788, to Harriet Lewis. She is a young woman of excellent spirit. She has seen affliction, and has fairly profited by it. If my life should be prolonged till spring, it will be no small satisfaction to me to see my dear Sister Brettell once more. Peace be with your spirits! I am, dear Jerry, Your affectionate friend and brother. To George Holder NEAR LONDON, November 29, 1789. Your affectionate friend and brother. To Thomas Stedman 22 December 1789.
