_To Lady H――――._
_Dublin, May 30, 1751._
_Ever-honoured Madam_,
I Was uneasy that I had no opportunity of writing to your Ladyship a
longer letter than my last, at leaving _Wales_; but it could not be
avoided, and Mr. _P――――_ (to whom I delivered your Ladyship’s message)
promises to supply my deficiency. I am now at _Dublin_, where I arrived
the 24th instant. Mr. _L――――_ gladly received me into his house, and
I have been enabled to preach twice every day this week. Some seasons
have been very powerful indeed, and the congregations increase daily.
Last _Sunday_ I believe ten thousand heard with great attention. After
staying one LORD’s day more, I shall set out for a month’s circuit,
and then purpose going to _Scotland_. I find that providence has
wonderfully prepared my way, and over-ruled every thing for my greater
acceptance. O that I could be more humble and thankful! Surely here
are many converted souls, amongst whom are two or three students, and
several soldiers. May the LORD JESUS add to their number daily such
as shall be saved! I know not where this will find your Ladyship,
but where-ever you are, my heart’s desire and prayer to GOD is, that
you may have a thriving soul in a healthy body, and be rewarded ten
thousand fold for all favours conferred on, ever-honoured Madam,
Your Ladyship’s most dutiful, obliged and ready
servant for CHRIST’s sake,
_G. W._
