_To Mr. K――――._
_London, July 19, 1748._
_Very dear Sir_,
I Thank you for your kind answer to my last, as well as for all other
favours. Before I heard from you, I had been informed from several
quarters that Satan hath been sifting all our poor societies. This
is no more than I expected. But let us take courage, dear Sir; JESUS
CHRIST prays for us. His truths are great and shall prevail. At
_London_, affairs seem to be taking a good turn. The LORD JESUS comes
among us as in the days of old. I trust by and by we shall see good
days at _Exon_ again. When I shall go there is uncertain. Next week,
GOD willing, I must be at _Bristol_, and after that I must go to the
_Welch_ association. Glad shall I be to hear whatever you have to
offer. May the LORD JESUS give us a right judgment in all things! When
the time of my seeing _Exon_ is fixed, I will endeavour to send you
previous notice. In the meanwhile, let you and yours accept most hearty
love and cordial salutations from one, who, though less than the least
of all saints, begs leave to subscribe himself, very dear Mr. _K――――_,
Yours most affectionately in CHRIST JESUS,
_G. W._
