To B.Bishop G.Gordon
With
great Joy of Heart, &and to your no less
Comfort, Dear Sir, do I write this, though
I wrote by Yesterday’s Post. Know then,
that having been this Day with the
intended Journey, he asked, “if Tho-
“mas Bowdler had ever mentioned
“any thinganything to me of the Affair be-
“tween his Brother &and Mr Nicholas
“Brett.” “Not a single Word”, said I.
This brought on a Conversation, easy &and 2047 (2047)
agreeable, upon the Subject of a
certain Event, which it is needless
minutely to recapitulate. The faith-
ful Remnant having been men-
tioned oftener than once, the Pri-
mus used precisely the following
Words — To be sure, We must
take Care of them, — &and repeated,
— To be sure, we must by all
means take Care of them. — You
may be sure, I declared my Plea-
sure in this frank Declaration, &and
will do all in my Power to forti-
fiefortify it. I received all, &and commu-
nicated nothing. You see, Mr
CheyneX is wrong in his Opini-
on, which you informed me of. All
Glory be to God for all his Mercies.
