44 Mr. Faraday on the 



Allow me to trouble you with a Commission to procure a Booksellers 

 Name in Manchester — as a few Copies may probably go off there. What 

 think you of Joseph Aston — printer of the Manchester Guide ? w c h open'd 

 Wonders to me— since I was an inhabitant — besides page 75— the manner 

 the Old Manchester Volunteers is mentioned, brings home the most clinging 

 associations in my Mind — I carried the Kings Colours of that glorious Regt the 

 Day they were presented to it — I was christened at the Altar above which they 

 are deposited — and under that sacred Building my beloved Parents rest. 



You good Sir whose heart is in Unison with sound feelings can conceive, 

 what mine must be — 



I am Dr Sir 



Your faithful townsman and friend 



Clifton, Bristol JOS. BUDWORTH. 



March 30th 18 10. 



The Book will be out about May — and it will give me great satisfaction — 

 if you could spare time to look at it when published — it presumes not in any 

 literary shape — simplicity and sticking close to characters — are its features — 

 those it is acknowledged to possess — and an after excursion furnished more 

 materials, whch will enlarge The Infirmary Edition — and we Trust the Pro- 

 duction will be no discredit to the Native Town the Author is proud to have been 

 born in — and to owe other lasting obligations to. 



Clifton Bristol April 17th 1810. It is droll that this day 32 

 years my Lieutenancy bears date and this day 16 years my 

 Captaincy — P.S. Can I transfer a power of admitting a 

 patient into the Infirmary ? 

 My Dear Sir 



I truly received satisfaction by the receipt of your kind Letter — and I 

 cannot help looking with fresh astonishment at the Subscriptions and 

 Donations added to the Funds of the Infirmary. You are an active People — 

 and must individually have put your Shoulders to the Wheel, and made use of 

 good arguments to double the 2 Guinea Subscribers wch were partly consi- 

 dered as heir Looms in familys ; — occasionally seeing a Manchester Paper, I 

 saw the Mine was working well — but I had no conception the Sums produced 

 could have approached by many hundreds a year the liberality you have so 

 much favour'd me by stating — and I am sure you, both as its Guardian and 

 Friend, have been a material part, to bring all This good about — indeed I had 

 heard so. 



I was not in the least surprized to hear you spoken of, as I am proud to 

 tell you I have both by your Townsmen and Others — I well remember the 

 activity of your mind when you were a very little Fellow — and I will honestly 

 tell you — that George Hibbert and you made more intellectual impression than 

 any of my earliest townsboys — George and I were like Brothers and I owe 

 very much to the assistance I received from his manly mind; — he used to 

 assist me in my exercises — and what was more, made me understand them ; he 

 marched with me in the Reg 1 - to Altringham — came to see me at Portsmouth
