_To Lady H――――._
_Dublin, May 30, 1751._
_Ever-honoured Madam_,
I Was uneasy that I had no opportunity of writing to your Ladyship a longer letter than my last, at leaving _Wales_; but it could not be avoided, and Mr. _P――――_ (to whom I delivered your Ladyship’s message) promises to supply my deficiency. I am now at _Dublin_, where I arrived the 24th instant. Mr. _L――――_ gladly received me into his house, and I have been enabled to preach twice every day this week. Some seasons have been very powerful indeed, and the congregations increase daily. Last _Sunday_ I believe ten thousand heard with great attention. After staying one LORD’s day more, I shall set out for a month’s circuit, and then purpose going to _Scotland_. I find that providence has wonderfully prepared my way, and over-ruled every thing for my greater acceptance. O that I could be more humble and thankful! Surely here are many converted souls, amongst whom are two or three students, and several soldiers. May the LORD JESUS add to their number daily such as shall be saved! I know not where this will find your Ladyship, but where-ever you are, my heart’s desire and prayer to GOD is, that you may have a thriving soul in a healthy body, and be rewarded ten thousand fold for all favours conferred on, ever-honoured Madam,
Your Ladyship’s most dutiful, obliged and ready servant for CHRIST’s sake, _G. W._
