_To Dr. B――――._
_New-York, June 29, 1747._
_Dear Sir_,
SINCE I wrote to Doctor _S――――_, I have preached to a very large
auditory, and, blessed be GOD, do not find myself much worse for it
this morning. As I am bound to thank you for all favours, so especially
would I send my acknowledgments for promoting this northward excursion.
I believe it will be a great means of restoring my health, which I
value upon no other account, than as it renders me more capable of
doing good to mankind. A pleasing prospect of action lies before me.
I am willing once more, in the strength of JESUS of _Nazareth_, to
enter the field, and hope through his blessing, I shall return to
_Philadelphia_ laden with fresh experiences of unwearied and redeeming
love. Whether I shall leave _New-York_ this week is uncertain. But
wherever I am, assure yourself, dear Sir, your favours shall not be
forgotten. That the great physician of souls may bless you and yours
with the choicest of his mercies, is and shall be the hearty prayer of,
dear Sir,
Your most obliged humble servant,
_G. W._
