_To the Reverend Mr. T――――._
_Edinburgh, September 2, 1762._
I AM just this moment returned from _Glasgow_, where I have been enabled to preach every day, and twice at _Cambuslang_. Auditories were large, and JESUS smiled upon my feeble labours. GOD willing, I shall leave this place on _Wednesday_ next; but I despair of seeing you. I have heard nothing of Mr. _M――――n_ and _V――――n_ since I left them at _Leeds_. What a mercy, that we are sure of meeting in heaven! Surely, you will not go before me thither. Must it be always _juniores priores_? Adieu. Cordial respects await your whole self. LORD JESUS be with your spirits! I fear the carrier will be gone. Accept these few rusty filings from, my very dear friend,
Yours, &c. &c. &c. in our glorious JESUS,
