_To the Rev. Mr. G. T――――._
_New-York, Aug. 29, 1747._
_Rev. and very dear Sir_,
NOT want of love, but of leisure, has prevented my writing to you for
some time past. Blessed be GOD, I can now send you good news from the
Northward. My reception at _Boston_, and elsewhere in _New-England_,
was like unto the first. Arrows of conviction fled and stuck fast. Many,
I hear, were wounded. Congregations were rather larger than ever, and
opposers mouths were stopped. Will you now take another trip? I believe
it would be blest to the good of your own and many other souls. I would
be more particular, did I not expect to see you next week. I am better
in health than when I left _New-York_. GOD gives me grace to spend
it to the utmost in the Redeemer’s service. I am determined in his
strength, to die fighting, though it be upon my stumps. I trust you
pray for me. I remember you and your flock. I salute all tenderly, and
am, Rev. and very dear Sir,
Your most affectionate younger brother and servant in
JESUS CHRIST,
_G. W._
