_To Mr. D――――._
_London, July 10, 1756._
_My dear Mr. D――――_,
YOUR letter gave me satisfaction. I read it on our Letter-day, and you
and the rest of my dear family had many prayers put up for you. May
they enter into the ears of the LORD of Sabaoth! Ere now, I hope you
have agreed upon what plan to act. I shall send no one over. As I would
have the family lessened as much as possible, you that are left upon
the spot will be sufficient. Debts may then be paid, and the plantation
brought into good order, by the time Providence opens a door for my
seeing _America_ again. What think you of _J―――― P――――_? If not truly
serious, I would not have him sent to the college. LORD JESUS, do
thou shew all concerned, what thou wouldst have them to do! Surely
_Bethesda_ will be a house of mercy still. GOD blesses my feeble
labours here. Last night I came from _Bristol_. There the word ran and
was glorified. In a few days I set out for _Scotland_. GOD continue my
moving life, till I am moved at last to glory! Continue to pray for me,
and assure yourself of not being forgotten by, my very dear Mr. _D――――_,
Yours most affectionately, &c.
_G. W._
