_To Mr. R―――― K――――n._
_Thursday evening. January 15, 1763._
_My dear Friend_,
DO meet me to-morrow by two o’clock, or rather one, at Mr. _B――――n_’s, at _Cannonbury-house_. I have something of importance to communicate. Not to keep you in suspense, it is to beseech you, jointly with Mr. _H――――y_ and Mr. _B――――n_, as trustees, to take upon you the whole care, both inward and outward, of the affairs of _Tottenham-court_ chapel and tabernacle, and all other my concerns in _England_: this one thing being settled, I have nothing to retard my visit to _America_, to which I think there is a manifest call at this time, both as to the bracing up my poor feeble crazy body, and adjusting all things relating to _Bethesda_. O that the LORD may incline your heart to accept this trust! It will take off this ponderous load that oppresses me much. Consider, dear Sir, it is for GOD! for whose glory, I am convinced that you and my other dear friends have a single eye and disinterested heart. O may he richly reward you for this and all your labours of love! Fail not of meeting me at the time and place above-mentioned. Mr. _H――――y_ and Mr. _H―――― D――――s_, GOD willing, will be there. The LORD JESUS be with us all! My dear friend,
Yours, &c. &c. indeed and indeed, in JESUS,
