_To Mr. W――――y._
_Edinburgh, April 8, 1763._
_Dear Mr. W――――y_,
I THANK you for your kind remembrance in Mr. _W――――_’s. Indeed I do not forget you. O that you may be a steady follower of Him, who was not ashamed of being called the carpenter’s son! My prayer to him is, that you may be daily more and more built up in his most holy faith. But the way to heaven is a narrow way. No elbow room for our lusts. What a blessing this! LORD JESUS, make us willing to be made whole! Adieu. Tender love to all enquiring friends. I trust their prayers are heard. The Redeemer vouchsafes to smile upon the feeble labours of, my dear Mr. _W――――y_,
Yours, &c. in Him,
