      Chesterton , Sat . Dec . 20 th , 1 783-Rev'd . Sir , A few days ago I received a copy of a letter of yours to Mr . Lepard from him * by which I find , and am extremely sorry to find , that you have not had the 4 th volume , which has been published this year and \ ialf . I supposed you had

      been supplied from Bristol , otherwise they would h ^ tve been sent . I have no connections With Lepard now , and I shall send you ten volumes , either by a neighbour , who will be at Taunton in a

      few days in a single horse chaise , or by the Taunton waggon . Whenever you receive the money for them , I should wish it to be paid to Mr . Staley , at Mr . Kcene ' s , S . Mary Overies stairs , Southwark . I am busy in translating a fifth volume of Saurin , which is sold to

      whole dispute . It is not worth troubling you about . I had the pleasure 6 f seeing Mr . Job I > avid in London , and by him that oi hearing of you . May God shower every blessing on you .

      I have lately lost a most intimate and worthy friend of your religious sentiments , a clergyman , and a Fellow of Queen ' s College , who with a virtue that does honour to humanity has left all , and is retired for conscience sake to a

      Unitarian Society at Montrose . Another Fellow of the same College , an intimate friend too of us both , brought me a sweet letter from him two days ago . I do not know whether Mr . Hammond , that is the name of the last-mentioned gentleman , will not be obliged to follow hisr colleague Palmer . For my part , I go for a nereticlc because such as these do

Toulmin , that we shall do much good to truth and virtue , while we pyeach inscrutabilia ? Says a grave brother , friend , I never heard you preach on the Trinity . T replied O , I intend to do so as soon acs ever I understand it . My wife sits by and will have her compliments put in . Be it so . I am , dear Sir , Your obliged R . ROBINSON ,
