fol. 26.  MS. letter from Henry Duncombe, Copgrove, to William Wood, Leeds, 5 September 1789 [not a copy].

Sr

        At my return hither I received your favour enclosing to me the Resolutions of the Dissenting Ministers at their last Meeting.

        I am happy that my conduct has merited their approbation; & concur with them most sincerely in thinking that the Arguments hitherto alledged[sic] against the Repeal of the Test & Corporation Acts are by no means satisfactory.

        I am  Sr with great regard

                    Your obliged humble

                                Servt

                                            H Duncombe
