Transcript

Manchester Jan^y 31 1824

Dear Sir

I inclose two letters rec^d this morning which I opened, knowing they related to the cause I am anxious to promote, I was much gratified with Mr. Marriott’s letter, and its contents being known to me will be useful. I wrote a note to day to the Warden, and hope soon to have his answer - I notice what Mr. Marriott says of Dr. Gaskin, and I think he will become your friend while you are in town, and that this accession of strength will help us here - I believe Lord Kenyon is considered an Evangelical. I believe all your things, at least all you will want of them, will be found in your [triumph]. I found the 5 pounds note and have put the gold into my Desk. With best wishes I remain Dear yours sincerely

T. Wiggin
