Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'Our last 3 Sundays have all been stormy and it is a great comfort to be able to read & think today. I have so often wished on the passage that Mr. Watson had his sermons published. We are very fortunate in having so many to choose from but I still think often of Mr. Watson & wish I could hear him, or next best, read his discourses. I suppose you will soon be missing him too ... I enjoyed the reading of Mr. Morton's parting present very much (Christ or the Inheritance of the Saints by Mr. Guthrie). Mr. Brown still reads a sermon to the shepherds. I think if all goes well we will spend only 2 more Sundays on the sea.'
