To William Robarts Date: BRISTOL, September 19, 1782. Strange! Have you not an estate Does it bring you in nothing Have you not a large trade Do you gain nothing thereby Then how can you avoid 'laying up treasures on earth' I want to know: I desire to justify you. To this Robarts replies: REVERAND SIR, In this respect I know nobody but you that condemns me; my heart, my God does not. I therefore need no justification. I have already spoke and wrote, but to no avail; therefore desire to be silent till you can cast one glance of charity, at least of candor, though I am not worthy of your address or subscription. I hope you will for this once admit the name of your once esteemed W. R. See letter of Aug. 3, 1783.
