Robert Hall, Cambridge, to Joseph Kinghorn, Norwich, 26 November 1795.

26. Nov 1795

Dear Sir

         I am sorry to give you any trouble on my account but as you have already been so kind as to favour me with the clearest proofs of your friendship, may I request you to inquire at the Bookseller’s how many of my pamphlet have been sold and to order the surplus to be sent to me as I presume the sale of the first edition must ^by^ this time be terminated. If you will settle with them Mr Wilkins will I doubt not find some means of transmitting the money.

I hope friends at Norwich are all well. Mr Richards of Lynn is just arrived, but I have not yet seen him. Dr Edwards of Philadelphia has been here a day or two, he is a very intelligent agreeable man, speaks in the highest terms of the happiness of America and unless I am much mistaken one principal end of his coming to England is to induce emigration. Things wear, in my apprehension, a most gloomy aspect in England and unless they change for the better, the emigrations will probably be very great. Pray have you seen Mr Fullers book on Socinianism. It is in my opinion a very masterly production, and goes more thoroughly to the heart of the controversy than any I have seen. It is stiled the Calvinistic systems considered with respect to their moral tendency. –

         I had much pleasure in the society of Mr Wilkins when at Cambridge. Please to present my most respectfull compliments to him and his holy father and all friends. I am your affecte friend & Brother
