To Duncan Wright Date: LONDON, January 9, 1788. DEAR DUNCAN, You send me a comfortable account of the work of God in your circuit. I cannot doubt but a blessing redounds to you all for the sake of the poor children. I verily think these Sunday schools are one of the noblest specimens of charity which have been set on foot in England since the time of William the Conqueror. Eight hundred poor children were taught at Bolton 'by about eighty masters, who receive no pay but what they are to receive from their Great Master.' See Journal, vii. 305-6. If Michael Fenwick has a mind to go to Dumfries and assist Robert Dall, See letters of Dec. 1, 1787, and Feb. 11, 1788. you may give him three guineas, which he must husband well. He may write to me from thence: I am, dear Duncan, Your affectionate friend and brother.
