Title
Copy letter: Brandreth to Rev. Hugh Smyth. ' Your letters have
followed me to and from the sea side. They shall be laid, as desired
before the Trustees of the Houghton Regis Free School. My opinion
of the Trustees in spite of your personal insinuations that they
act upon their own judgment, and not under my influence.. I am
sure we all should regret that you would ' waste either your breath
or your temper ' as regard the Charity, as the one would be more
usefully employed in exhortations in pariochial visitations of the
poor, and the other so governed and tempered as to render those
visits and exhortations spiritually benificial to the sick and the
dying. I hope that the improvement in your health from your lengthened
sojourn at the sea side will repay you for your absence from the
Ministerial duties of the Parish.''
