_To Mr. J―――― S――――._
_Bristol, July 27, 1743._
_My dear Friend_,
ON _Friday_ night I reached _Gloucester_, where I received your kind and animating letter. On _Saturday_ I came hither. Yesterday was an high day: I preached four times in the fields, and the congregations were as large as at the beginning: blessed seasons indeed! Here are people from all quarters. I am just going out to preach again, and therefore can only add, that perhaps I may set out for _Exeter_ on _Wednesday_, from whence you may expect to hear again, from
Yours, &c. _G. W._
