Plain Text Transcription	Letter 117 [Handwritten] Mar 15, 1790 [Address panel] To The Revd Mr Haweis at the Countess of Huntingdon ' s Bath My dear Friends I have but one minute to tell you how kind you are & the warmth of your faithful hearts brings springs of fresh life into my oId stupid one. I highly agree about [?Brother] Jones--& a quarter certain will cause your sentiments to be determined there as in future or ever[y?] where you shall think best. A son of doctor Gibbons, my worthy old friend, has been this morning to (as I conclude) engage my thoughts of him. He is teacher of the languages in an Academy with a[n] excellent character from that place. Wonderfull do I daily find the most surprising providence to answer my wants. On your approbation of De Courcy I write by the next post to secure him when you leave Bath. Five new chapels building for me all in different countys. The liberality of the poor excells every thing & a good and gracious man says I shall not die till I have a chapel in Paris. He is principle manager at Orange Street chapel. That I think you must be forced to keep your word & give the fine Protestants there your voice of truth. I am swallow'd up in unceasing business & I yet hold it. Love to my dear old & kind friend Mrs Haweis. & believe my dear Sir, your ever obliged & affectionate servant. S Huntingdon Spa Fields March 15, 1790
