I am Glad you received yethe Copies of
my Persecution and that you gave
your selfyourself yethe. Trouble to dispose of
‘emthem in yethe manner you did.

As to yethe other Pamphlet, the omissions
you mention were left out in my Mss.Manuscripts or 1419 (1419)
or otherways. I should have put ‘emthem
in. I assure you there was a tho-
rough Consultation, both here and
in London, by yethe best and ablest
Heads amongst Friends, wherein e-
very Thingeverything was seriously consider’dconsidered,
before it was determin’ddetermined to have
it publish’dpublished and it was thought,
That, to be a proper Time
as any; &and ytthat no Person could be
injur’dinjured by it, because altho’although yethe
world were Strangers in general
to yethe Facts; yet those more par-
ticularly interested were not; hav-
ing by one means or another had
all the Intelligence they could
wish for, and which they wanted
to have suppress’dsupressed. Mr G.Graham sent me
the Edinburgh Edition, which pleas-
es me very well.

I am equally sorry we cannot cor-
respond oftneroftener, nor so freely as we
would, but I think we should be
little better by yethe carriers; because
there would be no small danger, of
loosinglosing sometimes a Letter; as one
and yethe same Carrier does not go
quite thorough. We have indeed op-
portunities by yethe Return of By: Coaches
from this sometimes, and also now and then 1420 (1420)
then by some Friend. But I fancy by
inclosingenclosing a Letter under Cover to a
Friend at Newcastle, he might see
it delivered to yethe other Carrier
and then it might come safe.

I had spoke to our Bookseller about
the Picture you mention and he said
he would take any Number yethe Pro-
prietor1 would send, upon (what the
Trade calls) Return; That is, they will
be accountable for all they receive,
except what they return to yethe Pro-
prietor; for which they have a fourth
part of yethe Profits: but the poor Fellow
was killed about ten days ago. Howe-
ver if the Proprietor has a mind he
may send 100 and such as I dispose offof,
shall remit him 1.sshilling for each; and such
as yethe Booksellers take, 9.Dpence each, for
wtwhat is not returned. Had I the 100 now
I could dispose of ‘emthem all this week,
it being our Races: The sooner they
come the better.

I thank you[] for F.Fraser Escape; which
I take care to show all sides of
the Question. There is a Pamphlet
publish’dpublished at Edinburgh, which please to
get for me; it was wrote by one Had-
don, or some such Name: it gives an
Account of many cruelties, &cetc.

I expect some good Pamphlets Daily from 1421 (1421)
from Dublin, and if they be not rela-
tive to local Affairs, and will be
of public Use may send you a Copy.
