Mr. Root Date: LONDON, January 2, 1786. DEAR SIR, - I am glad you are connected with so good a man as Dr. Stonhouse and that you do not want employment. But I am not at all of your mind that you will be useless therein, although you do not immediately see the fruit of your labor. I could send you a clergyman directly, but I won't, because he is a dead man. But I have another in my eye whom I will send to immediately to know if he is willing to accept the offer. Peard Dickinson. If I can get time in going to or returning from Bristol, I will call upon you at Cheverell. Peace be with your spirits! - I am Your affectionate friend and brother.","word_count":132,"source_url":null,"themes":["free-will","assurance","catholic-spirit"],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:20:50.808594"}]}
