DEAR BROTHER, If this reaches you at London, I wish you would pay Mrs. Hutton Mrs. Hutton, of College Street, Westminster, with whom he often stayed. (with many thanks) what she has paid for my letters and washing. And buy for Mr. Kinchin Charles Kinchin, Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Rector of Dummer, and one of the Oxford Methodists.

I wanted much to have seen you before I set out, and therefore stayed to the utmost extent of my time. Charles had been at Bexley with Henry Piers, and returned to London on the 27th. See letter of May 17, 1742. My sister is much better. Could not you bring with you a few of Mr. Corbet's Thoughts If so, call at the little hut About eighteen miles from Oxford, on the London Road.

I promised him a little book when I called there in my last walk to town. Adieu! To James Hutton 5 OXON, April 28, 1738. MY DEAR FRIEND, This thing I do; I still follow after, if haply I may attain faith. I preach it to all, that at length I may feel it. According to Bhler's counsel on March 5: 'Preach faith till you have it' (Journal, i. 442). Only may I never be content with any other portion!
