Mr Mulcaster. Farnacres 19th April 1770
Barnatt met us yesterday as we were going to Throckley with a very Penitent face indeed. All the Answer we gave his Supplications were, that we could give him no Encouragement, but should write to you upon it, and in the mean time advised him to go home. We don't imagine that he will ever be otherwise than he has been and therefore cannot expect any lasting Reformation, however if you think it will serve the present purpose to give h

The Hospital have Tenants in the Neighb
