_To Mr. D――――n, &c._
_New-York, August 19, 1764._
_My very dear Friends_,
I HAVE waited with eagerness for another letter. I want a particular account of the necessaries you stand in need of. They might be procured with advantage here or at _Philadelphia_. I hope you have received the things. Something more will be sent by _Schemerron_ to the care of Mr. _H――――m_. I hear another vessel is expected from _Georgia_ soon. Surely I shall have a line then. I fear it will be the middle of _October_ before I can leave _Philadelphia_; but, GOD willing, you shall hear more particularly soon. A never-failing JESUS continues to smile upon my feeble labours, and hath hitherto carried me comfortably through the summer’s heat. Help, O help me to praise him. Pray for us. Tender love to all. Hoping to join with you quickly on earth, and in full assurance of joining with you eternally in heaven, in very great haste, but greater love, I subscribe myself, my very dear friends,
Ever yours, &c. &c. &c. in JESUS,
