_To Mr. H――――._
_London, April 10, 1741._ _My very dear Friend_,
I Ordered Mr. _H――――_ to send you some sermons and accounts, some time ago: I suppose he has done it. I have been at the Parliament-house; the _Georgia_ affair was adjourned. The gentlemen seemed apprehensive that my account of the colony, would have too much weight. It was somewhat of a trial to be in the House. I then remembered what the Apostle said, “We are become a spectacle to men and to angels.” My appeal will come to nothing, I believe. I have waited upon the Speaker; he received me kindly. I cannot yet determine when I shall see you. If you fear, I hope you will pray for me. The LORD blesses my ministry. Salute dear Mrs. _H――――_: I will write to her next; but you two are one. The LORD be with you both. At present I am weak in body, and therefore must beg leave to subscribe myself
Yours, &c.
