_To Mr. R―――― K――――n._
_Leeds, March 6, 1763._
_My very dear Friend_,
YOU have heard, I suppose, of my progress to, and employ at _Everton_. JESUS was there. Last _Thursday_ evening we came to these parts, where I have preached twice, and been closely employed in writing my little piece entitled, _Observations, &c._ in answer to the Bishop of _Gloucester_. Perhaps a day or two more may compleat it. Say nothing, but pray on. The next letters may be directed to _Edinburgh_, under cover to _―――― H――――n_, Esq.; Post-Master general. You shall hear, GOD willing, when I have fixed upon a ship. And I know you will pray that JESUS may be my convoy.
Only Thou our leader be, And we still will follow Thee.
I could enlarge, but must away to my throne. Tell all at Tabernacle and Chapel, where this leaves me. I send them and your whole self most tender love, and ten thousand thanks; and beg you would add to my obligations by praying for, my very dear friend,
Yours, &c. &c. in our common LORD,
