_To Mr. S―――― S――――._
_London, May 26, 1769._
_My very dear Friend_,
HOW did I send all over _Bath_, to enquire for you and yours! How have I since prayed, that your present use of the baths may be blessed to the recovery of your valuable health, and your soul sweetly refreshed with drinking the waters of life freely! Both these things, I hope you do and will experience fully. However it may be on earth, glory, glory be to free grace! we are assured that we shall have a perfect consummation of bliss, both in body and soul, in heaven. JESUS, thou son of _David_! JESUS, thou Son of GOD! JESUS, thou GOD over all, GOD blessed for evermore! give us patience to wait till this wished-for time shall come! I suppose you have heard of my hoarseness, gotten, through mercy, in the highways and hedges. A delightful spring campaign. Many, I trust, were compelled to come in. Such news will gladden you, because it gladdens the angels which are in heaven. With regret I must shorten this. I shall send to know how you both do. GOD only knows, how you are beloved and remembered by, my very dear friends,
Yours, &c. in JESUS,
