_To the Same._
_New-York, June 30, 1770._
_My very dear Friend_,
I HAVE been here just a week. Have been enabled to preach four times, and am to repeat the delightful task this evening. Congregations are rather larger than ever. You will see by the inclosed packet, what numerous invitations from every quarter I am daily receiving. Blessed be GOD, I have been strengthened to itinerate and preach daily for some time. Next week I purpose to go to _Albany_. From thence, perhaps, to the _Onoida Indians_. There is to be a very large _Indian_ congress; Mr. _Kirkland_ accompanies me. He is a truly christian minister, and missionary. Every thing possible should be done to strengthen his hands and his heart. I shall write, GOD willing, at my return. The letters dated _February 22_, with the packet of papers, I have received here from _Charles-Town_. The _New-York_ packet is the surest conveyance. Perhaps I may not see _Georgia_ till _Christmas_. As yet, I keep to my intended plan, in respect to my returning. LORD JESUS, direct my goings in thy way! The heat begins now to be a little intense; but through mercy I am enabled to bear up bravely. What a GOD do we serve! By this time I hope Mr. _D――――n_ and his wife are arrived. Hearty love to them, and to all who find it in their hearts to pray for, and enquire after, my very dear Sir,
Less than the least of all,
