To his Wife NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, June 10, 1774. MY DEAR LOVE, Last night Billy Smith gave me your letter. I had some time since had an account from John Pawson of what occurred in Bristol between him and you. Your behavior as to the money was admirable. You did yourself much honor thereby. You behaved like a woman of honor, sense, and conscience. O why shoed not you behave so in everything If it were possible for you to observe but one thing, 'Commit your cause unto the Lord, and speak nothing against me behind my back,' the people in general will love you. Till then they cannot. I am, my dear Love, Your affectionate Husband. It is believed John Fenwick cannot last twelve hours
