To Mrs. Crosby Date: LONDONDERRY, June 13, 1771. MY DEAR SISTER, Reading a chapter or part of one and making short observations may be as useful as any way of speaking. I doubt whether at that particular time it was advisable for you to go to Huddersfield. But it is past. All that you can do now (if you have not done it already) is to write lovingly to Mr. A John Atlay was stationed at Birstall. and simply inform him of those facts, concerning which he was misinformed before. It is not improbable he may then see things clearer; but if he do not, you will have delivered your own soul. And whatever farther is said of you is your cross. Bear it, and it will bear you. I am, my dear sister, Your affectionate brother.
