DEAR HENRY, -- You will seal and put Mr. A. G----'s [Name illegible.] letter into the post. And pray write strongly to Dr. Coke, begging him to beware of being imposed upon again, as it is plain he has been hitherto. Remind him also that he and I took Mr. Heath from his livelihood, and (whether he has behaved well or ill) are obliged in honor and in conscience to bring him home. I will give fifty pounds towards it. [See letters of Oct. 20, 1788, and June 26, 1789.] Tell him of 'Caesar and Pompey.' -- I am, dear Henry, Your affectionate friend and brother. Direct to Dr. Coke, Charleston, South Carolina. To Walter Churchey [29] LONDON, December 6, 1788. MY DEAR BROTHER, -- I am glad you wrote to poor Mr. Henderson: for certainly he stands in great need of comfort; and he must now needs seek it in God, for all other streams are cut off. I cannot learn anything concerning the manner of John Henderson's death, whether it was with or without hope; as I cannot find that any of his religious friends were near him at that important season. The Methodists in general have very little taste for any poems but those of a religious or a moral kind; and my brother has amply provided them with these. Besides those that are already printed, I have six volumes of his poems in manuscript. However, if you furnish me with the proposals, I will do you what little service I can. I should be glad to see or hear from Mr. Cowper [See letters of Sept. 27, 1788, and Feb. 22, 1791.]; but I have no means of access to him at all. -- I am Your affectionate friend and brother. To Peter Mill LONDON, December 20, 1788.
