_To Mr. D――――._
_London, November 12, 1756._
_My dear Mr. D――――_,
I HAVE just been with your new Governor, who sets out to-morrow. May the LORD of all lords make him a blessing! Upon the receipt of this, do you wait upon his Excellency, and give _Him, and whom he pleases to bring with him_, an invitation to _Bethesda_. I know dear Mrs. _C――――_ will make proper provision. I have had no letters for a long season. I have only time to inform you, that we have just opened a new chapel at _Tottenham-Court Road_, and that I trust the Redeemer’s glory filled it last _Sunday_. Have you persons enough to exercise before the Governor? Can they receive him under arms? That the Captain of our salvation may make them all good soldiers for himself, is the earnest prayer of, my dear Mr. _D――――_,
Yours, &c. in our common LORD,
