_To Mr. G―――― H――――, in Gloucester._
_London, July 18, 1741._ _My dear Friend_,
GOD has mightily blessed my journey in the country. Thousands, and ten thousands, have flocked to hear the word. It was attended with power, and near a hundred and eighty pounds were collected for the Orphan-house. I know you will give thanks on my behalf. On _Thursday_ morning, GOD willing, I hope to embark for _Scotland_: I am persuaded the LORD calls me thither. Invitations, both from the _Seceders_, and others that do not secede from the _Kirk_, are very strong. I should be glad of a line next post. It is now near eleven at night. I hope my friends will accept my thanks for their kind benefactions to the dear orphans, and with their prayers follow, dear Mr. _H――――_,
Ever yours in CHRIST JESUS,
