_To Mr. G――――._
_New-York, July 30, 1754._
_My very dear Friend_,
SHALL we once more see each other in the flesh? I hope so.――To-morrow,
GOD willing, I preach at _Newark_; on _Wednesday_, two in the afternoon,
at _New-Brunswick_; and hope to reach _Trent-Town_ that night.
Could you not meet me there quietly, that we might spend one evening
together? You must bring a chair;――I have no horse, and will then once
more venture your throwing me down. Mr. _V――――_ passes me from hence
to _Brunswick_, and Mr. _S――――_ to _Trent-Town_. If you cannot come, I
will get Mr. _S――――_ to carry me on till we meet you. O that the LORD
JESUS may smile on my feeble labours. Here I trust he hath given us a
blessing. Yesterday I preached thrice: this morning I feel it. Welcome
weariness for JESUS! O how little can I do for him! I blush and am
confounded. Pray heartily for me; and if business will permit, come
away to, my very dear friend,
Yours most affectionately in our common LORD,
_G. W._
