_To Mr. A――――s._
_London, March 31, 1769._
_My very dear Tommy_,
YOU will be glad to hear, that frequent preaching hath prevented writing. Through infinite mercy I have been enabled to preach four days successively. And indeed we have been favoured with a blessed passover season. All to make us shout louder and louder, Grace! grace! I have some thoughts of making _Gloucestershire_ my first excursion: but at present the cloud abides over _London_. LORD JESUS, direct my goings in thy way! The books will be sent. Mr. _S――――e_ hath done as desired: I believe he goes to _Bath_ next week. _B――――_’s coming was, I think, of GOD. She seems happy in her present situation. In heaven we shall be perfectly so. Till then, some right hand or eye must be cutting off, and plucking out, and we shall feel the smart and want of both. But all is well, because all will end well. _Hallelujah! Hallelujah!_ Come, LORD, come! I can now no more. Adieu. GOD bless you all! Cease not to pray, my very dear _Tommy_, for
Less than the least of all,
