_To Mr. F――――._
_London, July 7, 1748._
_My very dear Friend_,
I Have but just time to inform you, that after a pleasant passage of a month, a good and gracious GOD brought me hither in safety, where I have been received by thousands with a joy that almost overcame both them and me. I have preached once, and am this evening to preach again. One large church is open. I cannot now descend to particulars.――I can only send you a thousand thanks for all favours, beg my kindest salutations may be presumed to all friends, and entreat the continuance of your most fervent prayers in behalf of, my dear host and hostess,
Yours as usual, _G. W._
