_To the Same._

_Swanzey, April 12, 1743._ _My dear Friend_,

I Hope all is well with you. Great things are doing in _Wales_.――An effectual door is opened for preaching the everlasting gospel. Yesterday I preached at _Neath_, (seven miles from this place) from a balcony, to about three thousand souls in the street. The LORD was with me of a truth. This morning I preached here to about four thousand with great power. About one I preached at _Harbrook_, four miles off; and am now returned to preach here again.――Our Saviour has prepared the way before him. O free grace! Dear brother _H――――_ has discoursed in _Welch_ yesterday and to day.

Ever yours, _G. W._

Postscript. Past seven in the evening. I have just now done preaching. Swanzey is taken! I never preached with a more convincing power. Many of the rich and great were present. The congregation larger than in the morning. Free grace for ever!
