MY DEAR BROTHER, Your letter was sent from hence to Bristol. But I had left Bristol before it came. I have no objection to Mr. Jaco's See letter of Sept. 3, 1756, to Samuel Walker. coming to Yarm to open the house; but I suppose he cannot stay long. He will soon be wanted again in his own circuit. It is strange that the number of hearers should decrease if you have regular preaching. I hope the morning preaching is never omitted. If it be, everything will droop. What relates to the account I will give Mr. Franks. See letters of Jan. 25, 1762 (to Matthew Lowes), and Nov. 18, 1765. Probably he will find where the mistake lies. O be in earnest! I am Your affectionate brother.","word_count":136,"source_url":null,"themes":["free-will","prevenient-grace"],"created_at":"2026-01-29T20:02:13.485150"}]}
