DEAR TOMMY, If your fellow laborers and you are zealous and active, you will give me a good account of the circuit. I found it in a flourishing state. So will you before you leave it. Robert Empringham has done exactly right as to the sacrament. I advise you to tread in his steps. I wish you would inquire at what price I could have some kind of vessel to carry me from Whitehaven by the isle to Dublin. I am, dear Tommy, Your affectionate friend and brother. I take no horses with me.","word_count":102,"source_url":null,"themes":["free-will","prevenient-grace","means-of-grace"],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:13:38.808135"}]}
