I looked thin; my countenance became yellow.

I had also rheumatic feelings.

My friends, seeing this, prevailed upon me to give myself two or three days' relaxation.

And as a gentleman, of whom I had some knowledge, was going into Carmarthenshire, I accompanied him as far as Monmouth.
After our parting at this place, I became restless and uneasy, and longed to get back to my work.

I thought, however, that my journey ought not to be wholly useless to the cause; and hearing that Dr.Davis, a clergyman at Monmouth, was a man of considerable weight among the inhabitants, I took the liberty of writing him a letter, in which I stated who I was, and the way in which I had lately employed myself, and the great wish I had to be favoured with an interview with him; and I did not conceal that it would be very desirable, if the inhabitants of the place could have that information on the subject which would warrant them in so doing, that they should petition the legislature for the abolition of the Slave-trade.
