| Disgrifiad | Received both his brother's letters yesterday by a private hand. To put his mother out of all doubts, he is not married, but he married his god-daughter to a young and ingenious clergyman who succeeded Mr Williams at Rose. Those livings were offered the writer by the Bishop but he would not accept them, not thinking himself to be qualified for so great a care in his declining years. The Treasureship he might likewise have had, but there being two great cures on it and twenty miles distant from each other, and being required to part with his prebend in exchange, he did not think it worth his while to quit the one and accept the other. If he can keep what he has, it is enough. Is very glad to hear that his cousin is so well after her hard labour. Is also very sorry that he labours under such discouragement of doing good to those who most need it; he means his brother Henry's children. Is sure his godson did not want his advice, but it seems that and four pounds in money he sent him since he left Wales have not wrought that good he expected |
