_To Mr. B――――._
_Bristol, July 19, 1743._
_Dear Friend_,
I Have been so employed for some time past in preaching and travelling,
that I could not possibly correspond with you or others as usual;
but you see where I am; I came here to preach at the fair; because
people from all parts flock hither at that season. Yesterday I preached
four times, and twice statedly every day. O that sinners may be made
willing to come and buy of CHRIST’s wine, and of CHRIST’s milk, without
money and without price! Last night was such a time as I never saw
in _Bristol_ society before. To-morrow, GOD willing, I set out for
_Hampton_, to see what can be done for the poor persecuted sheep of
CHRIST there. I hear I am threatened, but JESUS will stand by me. In
what manner, expect to hear again soon, from
Yours, &c.
_G. W._
