DCXIX. — To the Rev. Mr. Davenport.

DEAR SIR, BRISTOL, August 14, 1782.

IT would have given me a good deal of satisfaction to have had a little conversation with you. But I do not stay long in one place. I have no resting-place on earth: —

A poor wayfaring man,

I dwell awhile in tents below,

Or gladly wander to and fro,

Till I my Canaan gain.

You would have been very welcome at our Conference. Mr. Pugh and Mr. Dodwell were present at it; and I believe are more determined than ever to spend their whole strength in saving their own souls, and them that hear them.
