<p>Twyford, at the Bishop of St Asaph's 1771
<p>Dear Son,
<p>I have ever had a Pleasure in obtaining any little
Anecdotes of my Ancestors. You may remember the Enquiries
made among the Remains of my Relations when you were with me
in England; and the Journey I took for that purpose. Now
imagining it may be equally agreable to you to know the
Circumstances of <i>my</i> Life, many of which you are yet
unacquainted with; and expecting a Weeks uninterrupted
Leisure in my present Country Retirement, I sit down to
write them for you. To which I have besides some other
Inducements. Having emerg'd from the Poverty &
Obscurity in which I was b . . .
