MY DEAR BROTHER, To suppose a combination, does not avail; to prove it, would cast them at once. You are in the right to lose no time; what is to be done should be done as soon as possible. Delays are never more dangerous than in law proceedings.See letters of Dec. 20, 1766, and Oct. 6, 1767. I have no knowledge of Mr. Dunning John Dunning (1731-83), first Baron Ashburton 1782; Solicitor-General 1768-70. Sir Fletcher Norton (1716-89); Attorney-General 1763, Speaker of the House of Commons 1770, Baron Grantley of Markenfield 1782. Attacked by Junius in Letter 39. or Sir Fletcher Norton. Only I have lately retained Sir Fletcher in the behalf of Miss Lewen's executors. Peace be with your spirit! I am Your affectionate brother.","word_count":133,"source_url":null,"themes":["pneumatology","works-piety","assurance"],"created_at":"2026-01-29T20:02:56.139267"}]}
