To Thomas Wride Date: DARLINGTON, May 5. 1790. DEAR TOMMY, It was a little thing to me, when I was able to ride on horseback, to strike a few miles out of my way. But that time is past. All I can do now is to visit the chief Societies. I hope to see our friends in Weardale and Barnard Castle, and I believe that will be as much as I must attempt. I hope you have now got quit of your queer, arch expressions in preaching, and that you speak as plain and dull as one of us. Wride was now in the Dales. See letter in Dec. 1786 to Bradburn. I am, dear Tommy, Your affectionate friend and brother.
