has injured him & given us friends. We have held regular meetings on the
Sabbath in BathBurslem, & Hanely. We now have meetings in Burslem &
Hanly, Stoke, Newcastle, Lane End, & a number of other places, round about
I have been informed that the Rector in New Castle is preaching against us
quite a number of Methodist teachers attend our meetings & freequently oppose
but they go away confounded while it begets us friends. We have quite a good
room in Hanly that we have lived for six months, which will be the sta[n]ding
place for the church to meet in on the Sabbath we have vary full & attentive
congregations how many will come out in this regeion I do not know
but the work seams to be prosperous here as yet, their has been a number
baptized since we came, the Church now Numbers between 70 & 870 &
others given in their names. I became convinced it was the will of God
for one of us to go to Birmingham & taking all things into consideration
we thought it best for Elder Turley to go. & consequently he left Burslem
for Birmingham on the 28thJan & I suppose is now labouring in Birmingham
but I have not herd from him since he Left. We are determined by the
assistance of God to open a Door in Every town from the Potteries to Bir
mingham & erect a Standard in it. I feel as though it will be a day
of warning & not of many words to England. I think that what we do we
shall do quickly. I would here also remark their are a number of Doors
opening in the towns between the Potteries & Manchester & preast Samuel
Heath & Elder Clark I believe are labouring there. I am enjoying go[o]d health &
spirits & the Saints generally are well, & wish to be remembered to you & wife Sister Elizabeth Revenscraft sends her respets to you & Sister Richards &
says tell Brother Richards that Mother will not have any more preaching at her
house. I wish you to Remember me to Sister Richards, & the family
where you reside & to Sister's Fielding, & Dawson, & all who inquire. I suppose
I have not had any letters as yet come to Preston. I wish you to drop a
few lines to me after recieving this & inform me of your health & Sister
Richards & about all the Saints & any information that you may have from our
friends in Liverpool or elswhere. I saw a late account in the paper of the destruct-
