DEAR MATHEW, Robert Johnson complained that you preached out of your turn, and thereby made other preachers who came to preach lose their labor. I heard no complaint of you but this; and to this you have now given a sufficient answer. I have not heard any blame you on Mr. Barker's account, and am glad that affair is likely to end well. Till it is decided whether we shall build a new Foundery or not, I determine nothing concerning my journeys. Peace be with you and yours! I am, dear Matthew, Your affectionate brother. Mr. Matthew Mayer, At Portwood, Near Stockport, Cheshire.","word_count":111,"source_url":null,"themes":["repentance"],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:13:04.769701"}]}
