_To Mr. H―――― H――――._
_Anapolis, (Maryland,) Nov. 8, 1746._
_My very dear, dear Brother_,
I Just now received a wished-for packet from _England_, in which are two or three letters from you. My dear fellow pilgrim will exceedingly rejoice at the receipt of them. She is gone forward with a _Boston_ young lady towards _Georgia_.――I hear they traverse the woods bravely. ――I wrote to you very lately.――I can only send you a few loving lines now.――I am just setting out.――Lately I have been in seven counties in _Maryland_, and preached with abundant success.――Our LORD gives me health, and his work (O free grace!) prospers in my unworthy hands. I shall consider of the calls sent me to return to my native country.――My tender love to all.――I am, my very dear man,
Ever yours whilst _G. W._
