_To Mr. C――――._
_Glasgow, July 21, 1750._
_Dear Jemmy_,
I Have nothing but good news to send you. The entrance GOD has been pleased to give me into _Scotland_, demands the highest tribute of gratitude and love. I preached twenty times at _Edinburgh_, and thousands attended morning and evening. Many I hope got good. To the giver of every good gift be all the glory! Last night I came hither, and was most lovingly received, and this morning the LORD of all Lords hath given us a delightful meeting. Blessed news is sent from _Kendal_. Enclosed you have the marks of my friends bounty, who love me for JESUS sake. Be pleased to receive the bill, and as you live near Mr. _S――――_, be so kind as to pay him the remainder of what is due for printing my last sermons. Take his accompt, and a receipt under; what is left, pray give to my wife to pay _Wr――――_ the book-binder. For I would fain owe no man any thing but love.――I would have my worldly affairs so ordered, that let death come when it will, I may have nothing to do but to die. That is a blessed word to me; the thoughts of death gladden my heart, and cause me often almost to leap for joy. But perhaps our LORD has more work for me to do. His will be done in, by, and upon me, in time, and to all eternity. Pilgrims must not expect much rest here. In heaven we shall have enough. There I shall meet you and yours. I salute you both most tenderly, and beg you would all pray for, my dear friend,
Yours most affectionately in our common LORD, _G. W._
