_G. W._

P. S. If Mr. Pauncefort’s petitions run after this manner for me, I should be thankful: “That GOD would finish the good work he has begun in me, that I may never seek nor be fond of worldly preferment; but employ every mite of those talents it shall please GOD to entrust me with, to his glory and the church’s good, and likewise, that the endeavours of my friends to revive true religion in the world, may meet with proper success.”
