| Transcript | Thos. [Thomas?] Greer at Dungannon Ireland per Jos.h [Joseph?] Inman From: London 15th 6 Mo [Month?] 1772 Dear Friend Thos. [Thomas?] Greer I duly recd [received?] thine wrote a few miles from Dublin on thy return home; which Letter was acceptable to me, & the Expressions of thy kind Remembrance & imparting of Counsel was pleasing & profitable. My Path seems rather a particular one, from my outward Situation in Life; but I believe if I rightly keep my Place, there is a power able to support & preserve. To that I wish to look with attention, & then be my Service what it may, & little or much I hope to be made partaker of true peace This our annual Meeting has been large, & at times eminently attended with Divine regard. We have had the Company of many concerned friends from the various parts of this nation, & a Collection of valuable Brethren & co from America those names thou art doubtless already acquainted with, with John Woolman, whose outward appearance is Singular but otherwise is a wise, sensible Friend. I think it may be said, that the Truth is on its way, & in the Lord's Time will be made to prosper in the Church & in the world. A lively concern remaining for the restoring of the good old way & the ancient Paths. For further pariculars I refer thee to our frd [friend?] Joseph Inman when you meet. As touching the matter of Uncle John Turner, my Intention was, to present him with 20 - over and above the 200 to his Son, therefore, if he be living, Cous. [Cousin?] John may pay it to his Father, & draw upon me - I mention it so, because JT informed me his Father was in a very poor State of Health I don't find much to enlarge present, & indeed have had so much Company, that I want some Relaxation My wife joins me in dear Love, & to thy Family and I remain Thy affectionte [affectionate?] frd [friend?] John Eliot. |
