MY DEAR BROTHER, To-morrow evening I am to set out for London. So I still creep up and down, as I would fain do a little work before the night cometh wherein no man can work. I commend you much for not suffering your daughter to go you know not where. What would it profit her to gain a thousand pounds and then lose her soul which could scarce fail to be the consequence of placing her in an ungodly family. I do not know anything in Bristol that would suit; but very probably I may find something in London. I should be glad if I could have a conversation with Mr. Cowper. I verily think there would be no great difference between us. See letters of July 22 and Dec. 6 to Churchey. September 27, LONDON. I think it is a pity to burn the poems. There are many good lines in them. See letter of Aug. 8 to him. So there are in the Dedication, which I thought I had sent you with the rest. I will send two of the Prayer-Books by the first opportunity. Peace be with you and yours. I am Your affectionate brother.","word_count":207,"source_url":null,"themes":["assurance","experience","works-piety"],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:23:07.696969"}]}
