_To Lady ――――._
_London, November 17, 1756._
_Honoured Madam_,
AS I thought it would give your Ladyship satisfaction, I herein
inclose the copies of two letters sent from the condemned youth, in
whose behalf your Ladyship hath interposed. May the Redeemer crown
your endeavours with success! Blessed be his name, we hear of daily
instances of his grace! At _Long-Acre_ indeed the word ran, and at
_Tottenham-Court_ chapel we have had some glorious earnests of future
blessings. Providence, I doubt not, will enable us to pray for it.
My constant work now is, preaching about fifteen times a week. This,
with a weak appetite, want of rest, and much care lying upon my mind,
enfeebles my too, too feeble nature. But the joy of the LORD is my
strength. And my greatest grief is, that I can do no more for Him, who
hath done and suffered so much for me. I thank your Ladyship for your
kind letter and good wishes. Indeed, honoured Madam, you are always
remembered at the throne of grace. That your Ladyship’s soul may always
prosper, and that you may increase with all the increase of GOD, is and
shall be the earnest prayer of, honoured Madam,
Your Ladyship’s most dutiful, obliged, and
ready servant for CHRIST’s sake,
_G. W._
