May the friend of all, unite us in the best bonds, and bring us to himself at last! I long to see the son of man coming in the clouds of heaven. I have now such large incomes from above, and such precious communications from our dear LORD JESUS, that my body sometimes can scarcely sustain them. Our dear Brother _H――――_’s letter (which I desire you may see) will shew you what a work is begun at _Savannah_. I am in great hopes, that six or seven boys and girls are really coming to JESUS CHRIST. Dear Brother _H――――n_ sojourns with us. I love him, and all the brethren, in the bowels of JESUS CHRIST.

Your weak unworthy friend and brother in CHRIST,
