_Bristol, May 28, 1758. Nine in the morning._
_My very dear Sir_,
I AM quite ashamed, that I should give you so much trouble:――but you are my friend indeed. May the never-failing friend of sinners bless and reward you a thousand fold! I have been just now preaching the unsearchable riches of his grace, to a multitude of souls, in a fine square.――Presently, at eleven o’clock, the blessed talk is to be repeated at _Kingswood_, and then once more in the evening here. Yesterday I went to _Bath_. But every thing wearies this shattered bark. To-morrow, GOD willing, I go for _Wales_. The chaise must be my carriage. I would part with that, and my other, and then if I could have a good four wheel carriage for thirty or forty pounds, the expence would not be so great. I would not lay out a single farthing but for my blessed Master. Mr. _S――――_ is an honest friendly soul.――I leave it entirely, my very dear Sir, to you and him. The LORD give you to ride daily on in the chariot of his love. I return cordial thanks to your mother and sisters for their concern for unworthy me.――Mrs. _G――――_ and _B――――_ long to see them. I had a good season of christian conversation at _Bath_, and found Sir _C―――― H――――m_ really converted unto GOD.――I doubt not but dear Mr. _D――――s_ will enjoy much of his blessed presence.――Be pleased to present my hearty love to him, and all, and accept the same for yourself and family, from, my very dear Sir,
Yours most affectionately in our glorious Head,
