_To Judge B――――._
_London, August 22, 1748._
_Honoured Sir_,
I Think it is now high time for me to send you a line of thanks, for
the favours you was pleased to confer on me when at the _Bermudas_.
They are not, and I trust never will be forgotten by me, whilst I am
on this side eternity. The same good hand that was with me abroad,
hath safely brought, and since my arrival blessed me much at home. I
am daily employed in that delightful work of preaching to poor sinners
the unsearchable riches of JESUS CHRIST. Once a week I read prayers and
preach in one of the largest of the _London_ churches. Multitudes flock
there and in the fields, and I trust much good is done to many. I have
been lately a three hundred mile circuit, and purpose, GOD willing,
to set out for _Scotland_ in about eight days. At my return, I hope
to hear by some ship or another that all is well at _Bermudas_. I beg
my most dutiful respects may find acceptance with his Excellency. I
endeavoured to be as obliging as I could to his lady and little master,
whom I suppose the Governor will have heard from before this comes
to hand. I have taken the freedom to send him a volume of my sermons.
I intend writing to Colonel _H――――_ another opportunity. I have sent
to Colonel _G――――_ and some others already. Multiplicity of business
prevents my writing to more at present. Be pleased however to present
my most cordial respects to him and his family, to your whole fire side,
and all enquiring friends. I hope you will accept the same yourself,
from, honoured Sir,
Your most obliged humble servant,
_G. W._
