_To Lady H――――n._
_London, June 20, 1753._
_Ever-honoured Madam_,
I HAVE been unaccountably detained in _London_ longer than I expected,
but am just now setting out for _Portsmouth_. However, I cannot
help sending your Ladyship the inclosed. It hath set me at liberty,
and fully convinced me, against what a disguised spirit I have been
testifying. At present, I shall go on in my old way, preaching the
everlasting gospel. Blessed be GOD, it is successful here. We had
a most glorious sacrament last _Sunday_ in our new Tabernacle; the
Master of the feast was with us of a truth. As I purpose returning
from _Portsmouth_ next _Tuesday_, I should think myself highly honoured
by receiving a few lines from your Ladyship. May this find you in the
blissful enjoyment of him, who I am persuaded is your Ladyship’s all
in all! I can only add, that words cannot well express how much I am,
ever-honoured Madam,
Your Ladyship’s most dutiful, obliged, and
ready servant for CHRIST’s sake,
_G. W._
