Feb 16th 1790 May it
please your Grace At the
request of the Revd Charles Birtwhistle, I beg leave to certify the state of
his health for some years past. About six
years ago, he officiated as Curate at Gisburn, in After
some time, the disorder was mitigated; but not so far as to render it prudent
for him to apply to his studies or indeed read at all. His nervous system has
been for some years much relaxed and last spring he was confined, many weeks
to his bed and given over by the Physicians. His moral
character is most excellent and his understanding very good when he is not agitated
or depressed. He has preached many sermons before the University which were
much admired and many of his private compositions which I have seen before
his illness were excellent. His
family are respectable for their Property & Influence in John Vardill |
