To Joseph Benson Date: WORCESTER, July 8, 1777. DEAR JOSEPH, What you say is unquestionably right. Why, then, should it not immediately be put in execution? Let Berwick directly be taken into the Newcastle Circuit, and Dunbar be supplied once a fortnight from Edinburgh. Pray write this instantly to Brother M'Nab, Assistant to Edinburgh. and admit of no excuse. If by this means there is a preacher to spare, let him step over as soon as possible from Portpatrick and supply the place of that good young man John Harrison Harrisin, whose obituary appeared the following month, was 'a promising youth, serious, modest, and much devoted to God.' in the Lisburn Circuit. Mr. Smyth calls aloud for help: he is zealous and active, but is quite overborne. I have set down you with Brother Hopper in the Manchester Circuit They went to Bradford in August.; and am, dear Joseph, Yours affectionately.
