_Reedy-Island, Nov. 26, 1740._ _Dear Mr. F――――_,
I Thank you for your letter.――You may print my life, as you desire. GOD willing, I shall correct my two volumes of sermons, and send them the very first opportunity.――Pray write to me by every ship, that goes shortly to _Charles-Town_.――――
I shall embark for _England_, GOD willing, about _February_.――I desire I may hear from you there also, as often as possible. I have prefaced _Jenks_, and _Presumptuous sinners detected_. Mr. _Bradford_ has the last, because he said he was to print it. You may have it of him.――The _Ornaments of the daughter of Sion_, you may have hereafter. Dear Sir, Adieu. I do not despair of your seeing the reasonableness of christianity. Apply to GOD; be willing to do the divine will, and you shall know it. I have heard from Mr. _S――――_; all is well. To-day several friends have taken leave of me at this place, waiting for a fair wind in order to embark for _Georgia_. I think I have been on shore 73 days, and have been enabled to travel upwards of 800 miles, and to preach 170 times, besides very frequent exhortations at private houses. I have collected, in goods and money, upwards of 700 _l._ sterling, for the Orphan-house; blessed be GOD! Great and visible are the fruits of my late, as well as former feeble labours, and people in general seem more eager after the word than ever. O the love of GOD to
Your unworthy friend,
