The Reverend John King Martyn to the Reverend William Mudge, his son-in-law from Pertenhall to Bonby

18 Mar 1833

From: 1833 To: 1833

Have received the "What-not" and for which thanks. I am lame and not of much use. John has also been ill of fever, but reduced to weakness by bleeding etc. He is at Bristol in the house of Mr Seiffert who keeps an academy, and John was assisting as an usher. Miss Fuller, a niece of my wife's from Bristol, is staying. The Gorhams are well. Jane talks of coming to spend the Passion Season with us. News of local people. "As for poor Thomas, he goes on much the same, only this Lent we do not hear of any prayers or fasts and as to his ministry and church attendance, we hear absolutely nothing." He seems quite one with Mr. Huntly. They are evidently much alarmed by this Church reform business... An all but infidel government sets about reforming the church !!
