_To the Reverend Mr. T――――._
_Edinburgh, September 9, 1756._
_My very dear Friend_,
GLAD, yea very glad should I have been to have waited upon you at
_C――――_. But it seems it was not to be. However, if I should return
from _Glasgow_, GOD willing, I shall call upon you; if not, in heaven,
in heaven we shall meet. GOD be with you and yours! I am just going off.
O these partings! they are cutting. I trust JESUS hath been walking
amidst the golden candlesticks. You will hear particulars from others.
I have only time to beg the continuance of your prayers, and with
hearty love to your yoke-fellow, Mr. _C――――_, and his spouse, to
subscribe myself, my very dear friend,
Yours most affectionately in our common LORD,
_G. W._
