Bonar Bridge - Thomas Clarkson, the son of GA's late friend the abolitionist Clarkson, is coming up to Trinity in October: 'This youth I dare say has no brilliant talent... Slightly uncouth in manner. - Now I am anxious that he should be in the society of gentlemanly men (I do not mean expensive men, for his fortune is not large)... Would it suit your views and your convenience that I should give him a simple note of introduction to you?... I really feel as much interest in the fortune of this youth as if he was my own relation'."
