To Miss Lewin Date: WEARDALE, June 12, 1774. MY DEAR SISTER, The word of our Lord to you just now is, ' Open thy mouth wide, and I will fit it.' Whereunto you have attained hold fast, and the residue of the promises is at hand. Mr. Saunderson is necessarily detained at Edinburgh, being to answer for himself on the 24th instant before the Lord's Justiciaries. I had the honor myself of being sent to the Tollbooth, and am only out upon bail. Billy Thompson, who travels with me in his stead, will speak to a few more of our friends. I think Miss Rhodes should try, together with constant riding, decoction of nettles every night and morning. In any wise the horses should be broke to go in a chaise. I wish you would send them to Leeds the day that I come. Peace be with your spirits! I am, my dear sister, Your affectionate brother.
