_To Mr. A―――― K――――n._
_London, September 20, 1765_.
_My dear Timothy_,
PRAY when are we to have the honour of a visit from you? I believe more than three weeks are elapsed since you came to _Bristol_. Mr. _Adams_ is to be your collegue here. I purpose for both of you to preach at the chapel, as well as at the tabernacle. Write an immediate answer, fixing your time of coming; and you must not think of returning soon. Mr. _Middleton_ sends me word, that he is blessed at _Plymouth_, and especially at dock, and that _Kingsbridge_ christians are lively. I hope it is so at _Bristol_. Blessed be GOD, it is pretty much so in _London_. LORD JESUS, quicken my tardy pace! Through his never-failing mercy, I have been better in health for a week past, than I have been for these four years. O for a thankful and an humble heart! My wife also returned well, last night, from _Bury_. She indulges this morning, being weary. But I take it for granted, that you and I rise at five. Mr. _Adams_’s room will be large for you to breathe in. I shall never breathe as I would, till I breathe in yonder heaven.
There sin and strife and sorrow cease, And all is calm and joy and peace.
Adieu. Cordial love awaits all where you are, all at tabernacle house, and all that are so kind as to pray for, and enquire after, my very dear _Timothy_,
Yours, &c. &c. in our glorious _Emmanuel_,
