If Miss Hurrell and you are separated for a season, it may be a means of making you more useful to each other when you are restored to each other. In the meantime you have a Friend who is able to supply all your wants, and from whom you never need be separated in time or in eternity. From the time that the fever burned I have been continually recovering strength, though by slow degrees. At present I am nearly the same as before my illness. And I ever am, my dear Nancy, Yours affectionately. To his Brother Charles 17 LEEDS, July 31, 1775. DEAR BROTHER, I must not delay answering your important question, ' What can be done with William Pine ' If he still, after my earnest warning, 'every week publishes barefaced treason,' I beg you would once more warn him in my name and in your own; and if he slights or forgets this warning, then give him his choice either to leave us quietly or to be publicly disowned. At such a time as this, when our foreign enemies are hovering over us and our own nation is all in a ferment, it is particularly improper to say one word which tends to inflame the minds of the people. My strength is gradually increasing. Except the shaking of my hand, I am now nearly as I was before my illness, but I hope more determined to sell all for the pearl. Peace be with you and yours! Adieu! To his Brother Charles LEEDS, August 4, 1775. DEAR BROTHER, The Conference (a blessed one) was concluded this morning, and I am as strong as I was when it began. I do not advise you to accept of the invitation: I read a letter to-day which I do not like. Nay, Mr. Saunderson is 'settled in Bristol ' that is, as a local preacher. Such an Address to the Americans would be highly seasonable. Have you heard anything of the Africans I hope to be in London on Tuesday evening and the Thursday in the following week at Brecon.
