_To Mr. R―――― K――――n._

_Bristol, December 16, 1767._

_My dear Friend_,

WE have been favoured with golden seasons here. I have been enabled to preach thrice, and to administer the holy sacrament. Thousands went away on _Sunday_, because they could not come in. The word hath been attended with great power. Grace! grace! What a pity that we cannot stay a week or two longer! But I must away to _Bath_ to preach to-morrow, and the next Lord’s-day. Shall write, GOD willing, to Mr. _S――――s_ by _Saturday_’s post, to tell _Rose_ where to meet me with the chaise. We come in the two days post-coach. Mr. _A――――s_ is come hither to see me. I thought to have brought him up with me, but the coach was full. Is it true, that Mr. _J――――ss_ hath two careful comforts at once? I wish him much joy. Pray tell my wife, that I intend doing myself the pleasure of dining at Tabernacle-house next _Wednesday_. Ere long we shall sit down and eat bread in the kingdom of heaven. _Hallelujah! hallelujah!_ Come, LORD, come. Hearty love to all. Continue to pray for, my dear friend,

Yours and dear Mr. _H――――y_’s, &c. &c.
