Plain Text Transcription	From Cradock Glascott at Hatherleigh, Devon, to T.H. at ‘Vineyards’ in Bath, Somerset. He knows that T.H. is very enthusiastic for foreign missions and Glascott is pleased to congratulate T.H. on the success that has so far attended his efforts, and also to inform him that a lady, who des not wish to be named, has given him £10 to pass on to help the overseas work. As Glascott is unable to obtain a ‘good bill or stamp’, he has written to the banker Mr Clement by this post and instructed him to pay T.H. the £10. He found everyone well at home upon his return. The weather has been remarkably favorable this spring for planting corn and the present prospects indicate a good harvest. His wife joins in sending regards. (1 sheet, 2p.) 15 April 1796
Notes	Craddock Glascott (c.1743-1831) was the son of Thomas Glascott of Cardiff. He was educated at Jesus College, Oxford and was ordained into the Anglican Church although the exact date is unknown. There is little information about him until he started to preach for the Countess of Huntingdon in 1766. Glascott was one of the ministers at the Countess’s Spa Fields Chapel in London and was prosecuted in the Church courts for assisting William Sellon. He severed his connection with the Countess when he was offered the benefice of Hatherleigh but maintained a friendship with her for the rest of her life and continued to occasionally preach in her chapels.
