_To Mrs. C――――._
_London, February 7, 1760._
_My dear Mrs. C――――_,
I SEND this to _Portsmouth_ after Mr. _R――――n_, to inform you, that last night we received your agreeable letters, dated in _August_ and _September_. Blessed be GOD that you are all so well. The bills shall be honoured. I have thoughts, that you and Mr. _D――――_ will come together. For CHRIST’s sake, do not think of moving from _Bethesda_. I am more than pleased: I am delighted with your being there. The family will soon be small indeed. It is easily increased at any time. I hope that _G――――_ and _A―――― W――――_ will be put out. I am glad _S――――f_ behaved so well. GOD’s judgments are like the great deep. Father, thy will be done! Mr. _S――――f_ bears the news quite well. I expect to hear again from you every day. GOD bless you all! Cease not to pray for, dear Mrs. _C――――_,
Your most obliged affectionate friend and servant in our common LORD,
