_To Mr. O――――._
_London, November 12, 1757._
_My dear Mr. O――――_,
I THANK you very kindly for visiting _Bethesda_ family, and for administering the Lord’s-supper. I am glad to hear that the Master of the feast was present. Ere long I hope we shall be called to the marriage-feast of the supper of the Lamb in heaven. GOD only knows what awaits us in our journey thither. I hope poor _Georgia_ will be preserved. I trust the LORD of all lords hath said, “Destroy it not, for there is a blessing in it.” We are in equal jeopardy. JESUS is our common refuge. Conviction and conversion work goes on amongst us. But I long to see _America_ once more. O that I may never cease itinerating, till I sit down in heaven. My hearty love awaits all that are bound thither. Hoping ere long to hear good news from you and yours, I haste to subscribe myself, my dear Mr. _O――――_,
Yours, &c.
