_To Mr. J―――― C――――, at Bristol._
_Hertford, July 1, 1741._ _My dear Brother_,
THE LORD has been with me greatly, ever since I left _London_.――I have been enabled to preach twice every day, and to ride several miles. The congregations have been every where very large. GOD’s presence has accompanied the word. People’s hearts have been enlarged. Within these few days, we have collected near a hundred pounds for the poor orphans. Numbers of souls, I believe, are under convictions. In some places we have had near ten thousand hearers. Invitations are so pressing, that I purpose going another circuit to _Bedford_, and to preach in the counties round about for near a fortnight, and then return to _London_. I hope the LORD is with you; I am somewhat weak in body, but sweet and comfortable in my soul. Dear _J――――_ joins with me in love to you and all. Pray for,
Yours in the best bonds,
