_To Mr. H―――― H――――, in London._
_Edinburgh, Aug. 11, 1741._ _My very dear Brother H――――_,
THOUGH my eyes are dim, and my body calls for rest, yet I would fain send you a line before I go. The LORD JESUS is getting himself into many hearts. I scarce feel any restraint in preaching. Both in public and private, the LORD clothes his word with power. Poor souls come to me under deep convictions. Sweet letters are sent to me of the success of my writings and sermons; and several pressing invitations to many places. I hope GOD is beginning such a work here, as he begun, and is now carrying on in _New-England_. Night and day JESUS fills me with his love. My bodily strength is daily renewed. The LORD is pleased to open my mouth wide; praise him for it. I have preached twice, and talked, and walked much to day. My dear man, good-night. The LORD be with you!
Ever, ever yours, in the most adorable JESUS,
