_To Mr. K――――n._
_Bristol, October 4, 1757._
_My very dear Mr. K――――n_,
HAD you encouragement enough last journey, to induce you and yours to
take another trip? My wife informs me so; she hath the rout. I expect
a line from her at _Gloucester_, to inform me of your determination.
Whatever it be, may it be for the glory of our common LORD! I hope some
souls that before were strangers to him, have begun to know him since
we parted last. We have had pleasant seasons. LORD, what am I! GOD
give us a warm winter! O how soon does the summer fly away! LORD JESUS,
pardon and quicken me, for thy mercy’s sake! Adieu. I must away. My
hearty love awaits your whole self, and all enquiring friends. In great
haste, I subscribe myself, my very dear Mr. _K――――_,
Yours most affectionately in our common LORD,
_G. W._
