_To Mr. J. S. in London._
_Piscataqua, March 12, 1745._
I Wrote to you last week, and have sent you by Capt. _Darling_ two letters, and a box. This comes by a young gentleman that expects to return to _South-Carolina_ by _August_ next. By him I send you one of each sort of the pamphlets that I have published here. I would have them sent to _Scotland_ as soon as may be. My wife has sent you a few lines in one of my letters. We are more than happy! O grace! grace!――I trust it is so with you. _America_ is pleasanter and pleasanter every day. I expect Mr. _Habersham_ hourly. The door for preaching opens wider and wider. O my dear friend, I could tell thee what would rejoice thy heart, wast thou here. But I have little time to write. I am now going to prepare my sermons for the press: And am also writing another journal. You shall have them the first opportunity. Our tender love awaits all dear friends. As often as possible, you and others shall hear from, my dear friend, &c.
