_To Mrs. S――――._

_New-York, Sept. 2, 1754._

_Dear Mrs. S――――_,

I AM much, yea very much indebted to you for your works of faith, and the labours which, I believe, have proceeded from unfeigned love to the ever-loving and ever-lovely JESUS. Put all to his account. You shall be rewarded at the resurrection of the just: then shall the righteous shine forth like the sun, O happy, happy time! LORD JESUS, hasten it! May the blessed Spirit prepare us to meet him! Methinks I hear you say, “I will not lose a moment.” The LORD strengthen you in this and every holy resolution! You must pray that I may not flag in the latter stages of my road. Blessed be GOD, we had good seasons between _Philadelphia_ and _New-York_. In the _New-Jerusalem_ more glorious seasons await us yet. At present I can no more. Be pleased to remember me in the kindest manner to all, and believe me to be, dear Mr. _S――――_,

Your assured friend, and ready servant for CHRIST’s sake,
