To Mr. John Watson

Greenock. I have letters thence, asking for help. Let not any poor souls perish for lack of knowledge, if it be in your power to prevent it. I am, dear Jemmy,

Your affectionate friend and brother.

DCXLIV. — To Mr. John Watson.

MY DEAR BROTHER, DUBLIN, April 25, 1783.

YESTERDAY I received yours from Perth. If brother M’Lean has been able to do any good at Perth or Dunkeld, it would be worth while to take a room. But truly I think, if the Highlanders will not pay for their own room, they are not worthy of preaching. To labor, and pay for our labor, is not right before God or man. Are you able to undertake a Circuit? You may address your next to London.

I am

Your affectionate brother.
