From William Seward to 'Dear Cousin Robinson'. If Robinson sees anything in the newspapers about them [Seward and Whitefield], they would be grateful if the cuttings could be sent to them 'as we do not go to coffee houses' [In the early 18th century coffee houses were popular places for social intercourse and discussing the news of the day].
In a postscript, he adds that he is now at Bath. In the fields this afternoon, Whitefield preached and the 'emissaries of Satan begin to rage' [Whitefield and Seward arrived in Bath on 12 March 1739. Whitefield preached at the Town Common at 5pm (George Whitefield’s Journal)].
