It will be necessary on several accounts that I shoed go round by London. After spending two days there and one at Bristol (if God permit), I must hasten forward to Cornwall. Keep the poor people about Gutherton, Gotherington, near Tewkesbury. if you can, in that lovely simplicity. I must if possible save Mr. Valton's life.
