_To Mr. G―――― H――――, at Gloucester._
_Lewisham, July 23, 1741._ _My very dear Friend_,
I Thought to have embarked this morning for _Scotland_, but am likely to be detained a day or two. I must therefore send you a line. Wonderful things is the LORD doing for me. In the country I meet with surprising success. In _London_ I see such things that I never saw in _England_ before. A mighty power almost continually accompanies the word. The LORD JESUS is pleased to strengthen me very much in the inner man. O, my dear friend, give thanks for, and pray that I may walk humbly with my GOD. The LORD be with you and yours. I hope both you and dear Mrs. _H――――_ do keep close to GOD. My love to all that love the dear LORD JESUS. GOD willing, you shall have a line from _Scotland_. Wonderful news is come from abroad, which will ere long rejoice your heart, and cause you to give thanks in behalf of, my dear Mr. _H――――_,
Ever yours in CHRIST JESUS,
