_To Mr. D――――._
_London, November 12, 1756._
_My dear Mr. D――――_,
I HAVE just been with your new Governor, who sets out to-morrow. May
the LORD of all lords make him a blessing! Upon the receipt of this,
do you wait upon his Excellency, and give _Him, and whom he pleases to
bring with him_, an invitation to _Bethesda_. I know dear Mrs. _C――――_
will make proper provision. I have had no letters for a long season.
I have only time to inform you, that we have just opened a new chapel
at _Tottenham-Court Road_, and that I trust the Redeemer’s glory
filled it last _Sunday_. Have you persons enough to exercise before
the Governor? Can they receive him under arms? That the Captain of our
salvation may make them all good soldiers for himself, is the earnest
prayer of, my dear Mr. _D――――_,
Yours, &c. in our common LORD,
_G. W._
