From Thomas Beddoes to Davies Giddy   2 June 1804

Friday

Dear Giddy

I am very glad you are in parliament as I think it is the only chance for saving the country – It is a step to being prime minister which w^d be our certain salvation – I am also glad as it gives me a chance of forwarding Dr Home a little book in order that he may search out an assistant for our flourishing & well-disciplined preventive Instⁿ

I am also glad inasmuch as it prevents the excursion in the Wye a rash scheme for weak chilly people on this side midsummer – I w^d thank you to forward the inclosed to

Dr J. Home MD
Professor
Edinburgh

I am yr^s truly

T.B.
