_To the Same._
_Carmarthen, April 20, 1743._
_My dear Friend_,
SINCE I wrote from _Haverfordwest_, I preached yesterday at eight in
the morning to about eight thousand people in this place, and in the
afternoon to several thousands at _Narbatt_, both times with great
power. This morning I preached at _Larn_, and coming over in the ferry
had the unexpected compliment paid me, of one ship firing several guns,
and of some others hoisting their flags. This afternoon I preached
at a little town called _Kidwilly_, to a large congregation; and came
this evening here. One of the ministers preached much against me last
_Sunday_, and mentioned me by name; but, like my other opposers (and
like the viper biting the file) he only hurt himself. I am as it were
in a new, but very unthought of pleasant world. O how many thousands
within these few days have heard the word! I thought to see you next
week; but as I am here, perhaps it may be best to go round now, and so
be at _London_ at Pentecost. In about a fortnight, therefore, you may
expect to see me.
Ever yours,
_G. W._
