I have received from Wells, in Somersetshire, thirty pounds for the
St. George's Fund, the first money sent me by a stranger. For what has
been given me by my personal friends I will account to them privately;
and, henceforward, will accept no more given in their courteous
prejudice, lest other friends, who do not believe in my crotchets,
should be made uncomfortable. I am not quite sure if the sender of
this money from Somersetshire would like his name to appear in so
wide solitude; and therefore content myself with thus thanking him,
and formally opening my accounts.
