APRIL 20
A conversation I had yesterday with Brother Proctor determined me to write immediately. The person at Birr will not do; not only as she is far too young, little more than a child; but as she has only little, if any, Christian experience. You want a woman of middle age, well-tried, of good sense, and of deep experience. Such a one in every respect is Molly Pennington; but whether she is willing to marry or no, I cannot tell. If she is, I hardly know her fellow in the kingdom. If I meet with any, I will send you word.
to Thomas Mason, 1771
Only take care to improve the Sabbaths, and He will stand every day at your right hand.
