By the best calculation I could make, I had yet two thousand to perform.

By means of almost incessant journeyings night and day, I had suffered much in my health.

My strength was failing daily.

I wrote therefore to the committee on this subject; and they communicated immediately with Dr.Dickson, who, on being applied to, visited Scotland in my stead.

He consulted first with the committee at Edinburgh relative to the circulation of the Abridgement of the Evidence.
He then pursued his journey, and, in conjunction with the unwearied efforts of Mr.Campbel Haliburton, rendered essential service to the cause for this part of the kingdom.
On my return to London I found that the committee had taken into their own body T.F.Forster, B.M.Forster, and James West, esquires, as members; and that they had elected Hercules Ross, esquire, an honorary and corresponding member, in consequence of the handsome manner in which he had come forward as an evidence, and of the peculiar benefit which had resulted from his testimony to the cause.
The effects of the two journeys by Dr.Dickson and myself were soon visible.
